According to lawyer Nguyen Trong Nghia (Hanoi Bar Association), if the competent authority concludes that the cause of the fire is due to a force majeure event, the place that makes the decision to temporarily seize and confiscate the vehicle mentioned above is not liable for compensation according to Clause 2, Article 584, 2015 Civil Code.
If it is determined that the fire was not caused by a force majeure event, sabotage or carelessness by an individual, the agency that made the decision to impound the vehicle must still compensate the vehicle owners, and then File a lawsuit against the individual who caused the fire to request compensation for damages. In case there are grounds to show that there are enough elements to constitute a crime, the case can be prosecuted and the accused can be prosecuted.
In fact, when the police temporarily impound a vehicle for violation, they often do not record in the record the condition of the vehicle, whether it is old or new, or how damaged it is. Therefore, according to Mr. Nghia, determining how much each car is worth before being burned as a basis for compensation is a problem. On the other hand, if the parking lot is insured, the insurance agency will be responsible for compensating the car owners.
