Lawyer Diep Nang Binh, Head of Tinh Thong Law Office (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association), stated that if the incident is determined to be due to objective causes, not the fault of the construction or building management unit, and there are no construction violations, then no criminal liability will be pursued. Compensation for damages to victims will be applied according to Article 605 of the 2015 Civil Code.
Accordingly, the owner, possessor, or person entrusted with managing and using the building, specifically The Coffee House in this case, will have to compensate the victims for the damages caused by the incident.
Furthermore, if the contractor or installer is found to be at fault in the incident, they must also be jointly liable for compensation to the victim in accordance with Article 585 of the 2015 Civil Code, and must provide full and timely compensation for actual damages.
However, accurately determining the legal responsibility of the parties involved in this matter still requires relying on the conclusions of the investigation by the competent authorities after the investigation process is completed.
