Practice question
A courier’s harmless delay means a recipient happens to visit a shop the next day. A wholly unrelated independent incident at the shop causes injury, and no risk created by the delay contributes to it. The recipient relies only on “I would not have been there that day.” What is sound?
- Every scheduling change makes the courier liable for every later injury
- That historical explanation alone does not establish legal proximate cause; the stipulated unrelated independent event and absent risk connection matter
- The courier automatically owns the shop
- The shop’s location eliminates every possible claim
- A delay is necessarily a crime
