this case, would not have to pay
Mrs. Luckless if another patron
had smashed into her car without
any negligence on the part of
those in charge of the lot.
The next question is whether the
printing on the claim check would
in any way change these general
principles. The rule in Ohio is that
such a check is primarily just what
the name would indicate; it is an
Identification to enable the loca-
ton of the specific article among
the other items in the possession
of the holder, whether it be park
ing lot or a baggage room.
Printing on that check may be
the basis of contract which will
enlarge or limit the duties and
rights of the holder and the owner
if it can be shown that the owner
read these provisions and assented
to them before he delivered pos
session of his property. In Ohio,
however, a person or organization
that has the safekeeping of the
property of others for hire, cannot
by contract avoid his basic duty
to exercise ordinary care in keep
ing such property.
Perhaps Mrs. LuCkless will be
able to make the parking lot pay
for the damage to her car. In or
der to do this, however, she will
have to prove that the damage re-
suited from the negligence of the
parking lots employees. IN any
case, she will probably hear from
Mr.. LucklesS.
