Question

1. Torczyner, a diamond salesman, registered as a guest at the Hilton Hotel in Denver, Colorado. He placed his diamonds in the hotel safe when he did not need them for business purposes. On the last day of his visit, he removed the gems from the safe, left the hotel to make some business calls, and returned for the purpose of packing and checking out. Instead of placing the diamonds in the hotel safe, Torczyner carried them to his room. There, he was assaulted by two men who beat him and robbed him of the diamonds. Is the hotel responsible for the loss of the diamonds? Explain 1 paragraph

Explanation / Answer

Hi,

Please find the answer as follows:

The hotel is not liable for any loss suffered by Torczyner. It is apparent from the facts provided in the case that Torczyner moved the diamonds from the safe when he needed them. There is no clear reason as to why he didn't deposit diamonds at the time of returning to the hotel. He could have gone to his room and packed and could have therefter returned to the desk to check out and collect his diamonds. Here the exception of "Coming and Going" will not apply.

Thanks,

Aman
