Legal question
The problem with asking legal questions here is that you'll get posts
about what people believe *should* be true, but may bear no resemblance to the law. Unless the post says "I'm a lawyer and ..." or "I had that happen to me and ...", you shouldn't rely on it. That said, and without giving you *advice*, I'll say that if it happened to me, I would set the parcel aside, for some reasonable period, say a month, and wait for something to happen. At the end of the month, I would treat it as my own. If contacted, *I* would feel entitled to storage and/or handling fees to return it (at his shipping expense). Or tell him "Come and get it". I also *believe* that this is covered by the Uniform Commercial Code, which you should be able to find in a library. IMHO, Bob |

That said, and without giving you *advice*, I'll say that if it happened to me, I would set the parcel aside, for some reasonable period, say a month, and wait for something to happen. At the end of the month, I would treat it as my own. If contacted, *I* would feel entitled to storage and/or handling fees to return it (at his shipping expense). Or tell him "Come and get it". Exactly what I plan on doing. I will wait for 2 weeks since yesterday. If the owner wants to get it, he can come and get it. Otherwise I would want $50 to get it to a packing outfit. I also *believe* that this is covered by the Uniform Commercial Code, which you should be able to find in a library. I may check it out... I do not think that it is the case actually, I studies UCC a while ago and do not recall discussing ownership issues regarding mistaken delivery. i Take a look at this online version. It does say it's not complete and I don't know which sections you might need to search, but it's right at your fingertips. http://straylight.law.cornell.edu/ucc/ucc.table.html Joe |
