Practice question
An unauthorized local official orders cargo destroyed. The carrier proves only that it obeyed the written order and invokes Article 1743. What is the sound conclusion?
- Any written order conclusively supplies competence.
- The claimed exemption fails because the issuer lacked power to order destruction.
- Destruction can never be covered by Article 1743.
- The carrier wins because ownership passed to the official.
- A private order is equivalent to a valid public order.
