The Winkfield case brief

The Winkfield
FACTS
-April 5, 1900, collision in fog b/t gov’t transport Winkfield (troops) and Mexican, (mail ship). Winkfield damaged, Mexican sank - all passengers, crew, and some mail and luggage put on board of Winkfield.

(Winkfield has been found negligent, and now those from Mexican are trying to get damages. The amount of damages is already fixed. The Postmasters General whose mail was lost on the Mexican want recovery.)


RULES

-In an action against a stranger for loss of goods caused by his negligence, the bailee in possession can recover the value of the goods, although he would have a good action by the bailor for damages for the loss of the thing bailed.
Armory v. Delamirie - A mere finder may recover against a wrongdoer the full value of the thing converted.
-The chattel that has been converted or damaged is deemed to be the chattel of the possessor and of no other, and therefore its loss or deterioration is his loss, and to him, if he demands it, it must be recouped.

HOLDING

-The wrongdoer, having once paid full damages to the bailee, has an answer to any action by the bailor.

The Most Valuable Study Material You Can Buy This Year!

I have compiled all the information that has helped me excel in law school and I want to share that information with you.  My methods have helped literally hundreds of other law school students, and now they can help you too.  I did not study law before starting law school, nor did I come from a distinguished background.  I was the first in my family to graduate college and I knew virtually nothing about law school before my first day of class.  However, I was able to find success by reading literally hundreds of sources on law school strategies and by applying those methods and others that I have learned throughout life on achieving my dreams.

Success in Law School can be a reality.  Stellar Grades, Transfer Opportunities, The Best Jobs, and More!  There is no reason why you should not consider taking the time to read the method that the top students in your class are undoubtedly using.  Get ahead of the competition!

Even if you are a second or even a third year student, my methods can drastically raise your GPA and greatly improve your marketability.  While some may say that the law school GPA does not matter in the third year, the reality is that employers do take a very serious look at one's law school GPA and in this economy, you need to be as marketable as possible.Do you want to know how to study for a final exam?  Do you want to find the secrets to answering the questions on exams?  What are professors looking for when they grade exams?  Do you want to know how you can find out the questions that your professor will ask?  What are some strategies that a law student can use to find out what a professor is looking for when he/she asks a question that you should be able to know in advance that he/she will ask?


If you want to succeed in law school, if you are serious, than there is no reason why you should not read this book: How to Win at Law School: Setting Goals for Law School Success!
