Plaintiff failed to prove causation that the dripping in the Factory Unit originated from the Hole connected to Flat 1D, failed to prove the Hole was a defect that defendants knew or should have reasonably foreseen would cause the damage, and failed to prove negligence or breach of statutory duties under OLO and BMO; non-expert factual opinion was insufficient to establish the mechanism of seepage and claimed quantum was not proven; accordingly the claims are dismissed and costs awarded to defendants.
