The appellant's five-year-old child started a fire in their apartment building using a cigarette lighter.
The apartment owner and an adjoining tenant sued the appellant for negligence.
A jury found the appellant negligent for failing to supervise her children, specifically by failing to warn them of the danger of fire after a neighbour reported seeing them playing with matches the night before.
The appellant appealed the jury's verdict.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding it was open to the jury to accept the neighbour's evidence and conclude the appellant was negligent.
