Study Notes

Liability for Damage Caused While Asleep

  • A person who causes damage while asleep is not required to pay unless they were aware of the situation and acted with negligence (מועד).
  • If two people go to sleep at the same time and one turns over and injures the other or tears their garment, the person who caused the damage is liable.
  • If a person is sleeping and someone comes and lays down next to them, only the one who lay down afterwards is considered מועד, and the sleeping person is not liable if they injure the other.
  • If a person places a utensil next to a person who is sleeping, and the sleeping person breaks it, the sleeping person is not liable, as the one who placed the article down was מועד and acted with negligence.

General Liability for Damage

  • The same laws applying to damage caused while asleep also apply to other types of damage, such as killing someone's animal, breaking their utensils, tearing their garments, or cutting down crops or trees they planted.
  • A person who causes damage is required to pay for it, unless they can prove that the damage was unintentional or due to forces beyond their control.

Exceptions to Liability

  • If damage is done in a place belonging to the person who caused the damage (מזיק), they are not required to pay unless they purposely caused the damage.
  • If both parties were in a place belonging to a third party, with or without permission, and one unintentionally damaged property belonging to the other, the person who caused the damage is not liable, unless they purposely caused the damage.
