PEH414

Someone gave a dyer a piece of silk to dye. The dyeing workshop burned down, along with everything in the house, including the dyed silk. The question is whether the client is entitled to damages or if the dyer is still entitled to payment. According to the decision of Moses ben Samuel Israel, the dyer is not liable for damages if the fire was caused by force majeure and not by the dyer's negligence, if the dyer or others could not have saved the silk, and if the dyer can prove that the silk was indeed burned along with the other items. However, the dyer is not entitled to payment because he did not inform the client that the work was completed.
