Du Louage d'Ouvrage et d'Industrie

Contract Law
Titre XXII: Du Contrat de Louage (On the Contract of Lease)
Chapitre II: Du Louage d'Ouvrage et d'Industrie (On the Hire of Work and Industry)

Lorsqu'un ouvrier s'oblige non seulement de fournir sa main d'oeuvre, mais encore les matériaux nécessaires à la confection d'un ouvrage qui a péri avant d'être livré, la perte est pour l'ouvrier. À moins que le maître ne fût en demeure de recevoir l'ouvrage par un acte signifié par l'huissier, car alors la perte est pour le maître.

Life lesson: If you're the builder supplying both labor and materials, you bear the loss if the work is destroyed before delivery — unless the client refused to accept it.
Notes: Risk of loss before delivery: on workman when supplying materials + labor. Exception: owner in mora (default of acceptance by huissier act) → risk shifts to owner. Res perit domino principle modified.
