Du Prêt à usage

Contract Law
Titre XXIV: Du Prêt (On Loan)
Chapitre I: Du Prêt à usage (On Loan for Use)

Si la chose prêtée a des vices ou défauts qui puissent nuire et préjudicier à celui qui emprunte, et que ces vices ou défauts soient connus du prêteur, qui n'en a pas instruit l'emprunteur, le prêteur sera responsable des dommages que pourraient occasionner ces défauts.

Life lesson: If the lender knows the thing is defective and doesn't warn the borrower, the lender is liable for any resulting harm.
Notes: Lender's duty to disclose known defects. Knowledge + silence = liability for resulting damages. Good faith obligation even in gratuitous contract.
