Squandering the Properties by Hired's Roadster
Issue No.1874- If a person takes an animal on hire for transporting fragile goods, and if the animal slips or stampedes and the load is broken, the owner of the animal is not responsible. However, if the owner beats the animal or leads it on an unsafe road, etc., and the animal falls and breaks the goods he (the owner of the animal) is responsible. This rule also applies to a vehicle which is turned over, and its load is destroyed, if it is due to his negligence or his failure, he is responsible for the loss. But if the vehicle is faultless and it breaks down and turns over due to some reason as a result of which the load is destroyed, he is not responsible.
