Law relating to Damages, Claims and Compensation

.........................................................................................................................
Book Description
“If a slave man or woman damages any piece of someone else’s property, then provided the person who suffers the loss was not himself partly to blame because of inexperience or careless conduct, the slave’s owner must either make good the damage in full, or hand over the actual offender. But if the owner counter-claims that the prosecution has been brought as a result of the injured person and the culprit putting their heads together to rob him of his slave, he must sue the allegedly injured part on a charge of collusion. If he wins the day, he is to receive twice the value of the slave as assessed by the court. If he loses he must both make good the damage and hand over the slave. If a beast of burden or a horse or dog or some other animal damages a piece of a neighbour’s property its owner is to pay for the damage on the same basis.”
