Plaintiff failed to prove negligence on the balance of probabilities: cause of fire remained indeterminate on the evidence, res ipsa loquitur inapplicable because requirements not met (not shown fire could not occur without negligence; no sole control by defendants; cause not established), tenancy clauses allocated fire precaution and indemnity obligations to tenants absolving landlord, and plaintiff failed to strictly prove claimed special damages; accordingly claim dismissed.
