Playa de Palma Trial: Who Bears Responsibility After the Rooftop Terrace Collapse?

Answer

Why does a rooftop terrace collapse matter for safety rules in Mallorca?

A collapse like this can expose gaps in permits, maintenance and oversight, especially in busy tourist areas such as Playa de Palma. It also raises the question of whether outdoor structures were treated as permanent buildings or temporary additions, which changes how they should be checked. For Mallorca, the wider concern is preventing similar risks in other venues.
