Defendant was negligent in failing to take obvious and reasonable precautions against water ingress and failed to prove absence of negligence; Kyosei Agencies were not agents of the plaintiff and there was insufficient evidence that the plaintiff knew of or impliedly consented to the defendant's exemption clauses or that such clauses were in a known and contemplated form or usual in the trade, therefore the defendant could not rely on those clauses to escape tortious liability; judgment for plaintiff for damages and costs.
