Question

Ann Boleyn gave her sister Mary gold coins worth $7,000, a diamond necklace, some gowns, and deeded to her a cottage to spend her summers. Ann wrote a note to Mary informing her that the gold coins and check were to be used to maintain the upkeep of the cottage and that it was a loan. She also informed her that the necklace and gowns were gifts. She packaged everything in a box and sent the coins, deed, gowns, and necklace via Aragon Common Carrier Express. Ann declared the value of the box at $20,000 on the pick-up receipt she received from Catherine, the driver for Common Carrier Express. The receipt also stated: “Unless a greater value is declared in writing on this receipt, the shipper hereby declares and agrees that the released value of each box covered by this receipt is $15,000, which is a reasonable value under the circumstance surrounding the transportation. Mary never received the box and Ann sued Aragon Common Carrier Express. What is the outcome?

Explanation / Answer

Outcome:

Ann has to complaint legally to the Aragon common carrier express.As the express is responsible for the assured transportation of customers things.So the Express has to take actions immediately and find the box for Ann.First the express has to enquire the shippper catherine about that box.If the mistake is not with the shipper then express has to analyse where the mistake is done and they are fully responsible for the loss of Ann because Ann has sgined the receipt and the shipper has also declared and agreed of transportation.so if it is not transported to correct location then the shipper and express are responsible.If the shipper has stealed the box then the box should be returned from her and she should be expelled from work.If the mistake is not with the shipper then company and shipper have to repay the amount for Ann's loss.If the express donot answer responsibly then Ann can file a complaint legally in court and ask them to pay for her loss.
