A contract for the provision of a crane, including transport, assembly and dismantling services, entered into by a contractor in the course of carrying out construction works is a lease. It follows that the contractor is not answerable to the project owner for damage caused by the lessor while the crane was being removed from the site. The position would have been different in the case of subcontracting.
