The Employer’s Liability The performance of the accommodation contract, both with regard to the fundamental obligation to provide the accommodation and the safety conditions in which it is provided, as well as with regard to the safekeeping and custody of the travelers’ belongings, can give rise to different liabilities for the employer. We will deal with them in this section, distinguishing the liability arising from the non-fulfilment of the main performance, the liability arising from the damage caused to the health and physical integrity of the guest, and the liability arising from the disappearance of the personal belongings of the traveler. V.1. Liability for the Non-Fulfilment of the Performance Closely connected with the concept of an obligation already advanced and with the fulfilment of this duty is the requirement to compensate or repair the damage caused to the victim 31 . Such damages may have been suffered, either because the employer or his delegates have breached one of their obligations, or because the generic duty not to cause damage to another has been breached 32 , but only if the failure to comply with the aforementioned duty or the damage caused can be imputed to that person 33 , since there can be no civil liability if there is no harmful result 34 . 30 The claims of the operator of the accommodation establishment arising from the contract for accommodation and ancillary services shall have priority over the debtor's movable property brought into the accommodation establishment and any of its premises (author’s translation). 31 DE ANGEL YAGÜEZ, R.

When this happens, the tortfeasor is said to incur liability. 33 Vid. REGLERO CAMPOS, L. F. “Conceptos generales y elementos de delimitación”, in Tratado de Responsabilidad Civil, Luis Fernando Reglero Campos (Coord.), Thomson-Aranzadi, Pamplona, 2008, p. 66, says that liability is imputation. 34 FELIU REY, M.
