Paying for damages by mistake?

Question

Law in IT

Is it necessary to pay for damages if the code of the production server was uploaded to the test server and, in case of accidental execution, money was debited from the company.

Answer 1

Depends on your contract and on the ability to negotiate, more. In my practice, thank God, I did not bring any damage to companies, although, of course, there were cases when projects fell and caused indirect losses. But they always somehow found a common language. In addition, you are most likely alone in the project. No matter how good a specialist is, you can’t keep track of everything alone. Communicate with the customer, discuss options.
Well, do what you think is right.

Answer 2

There is no general case. You need to carefully read the contract and understand in this particular case. Who uploaded it, why uploaded it, how did it happen that in case of "accidental execution" the transaction was able to go through etc.

Answer 3

To be honest, as a lawyer, your question is not clear to me at all ... in order to somehow answer, you need to at least understand what kind of server, how it works and what it is for, how and why the money was debited, why there is no protection, checks before debiting money from the account and this is just a random number of questions (not complete ...) from the analysis of which it will be possible to speak about the presence of intent, negligence, guilt in your actions and already qualify legally regarding the presence or absence of responsibility for causing damage ...
