  69-11-108. Prohibition on confiscation of fuel. (1) It is unlawful for any person, railway company, or common carrier to confiscate or take for the person's or its own use or for the use of another any coal or other fuel in transit except when the coal or other fuel is necessary for the preservation of life or property or is required for the moving of trains of the common carrier. In a suit under this section to recover the penalty and damages, the burden of proof is on the person, railroad company, or common carrier confiscating the coal or other fuel to show that the coal or other fuel was necessary for the preservation of life or property or was required for the moving of trains of the common carrier.   (2) Any person, railroad company, or common carrier who confiscates or takes any coal or fuel, either for the person's or its own use or for the use of another, is liable to the consignee or owner of the coal or fuel in double the value of the coal or fuel at the point of shipment and other damages that may be caused by the confiscation of the coal or fuel. The liability is exclusive of and in addition to any and all charges for the transportation of the coal or fuel, which charges for the transportation must be paid by the party confiscating the coal or fuel. In every case in which coal or other fuel is taken or used by any person, railroad company, or common carrier, it is the duty of the person, railroad company, or common carrier to notify the consignee by telegram or letter, immediately, of the taking of the coal or fuel and to pay and compensate the consignee within 30 days from the time of the taking.   (3) Any person, corporation, or common carrier who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than $50 or more than $200.

  69-11-109. Provision for transportation of passengers and property for free or reduced rates. (1) (a) A provision of the laws of this state may not prevent any person, association, company, or corporation engaged as a common carrier of persons or property in this state from carrying, storing, or handling at free or at reduced rates:   (i) property for the United States, for state or municipal governments, or for charitable institutions;   (ii) property that is being transported to or from fairs and expositions for exhibit at fairs or expositions; or   (iii) cars used by the government of the United States or the state for the transportation of fish and agents and employees employed in that transportation.   (b) The laws of this state may not prevent any person, association, company, or corporation from issuing free transportation or selling tickets at reduced rates to the classes of persons listed in 69-11-208.   (2) When free transportation or a ticket at a reduced rate is issued to any officer or any president or member of the faculty of any educational institution referred to in 69-11-208(1)(q), it may be issued only upon the application of the secretary of state and the transportation or ticket must be delivered to the secretary of state for delivery to the person or persons applying for the free or reduced ticket. The secretary of state shall keep record of all transportation and tickets at reduced rates received and delivered by the secretary of state. The state officer and the president and faculty of the state educational institutions, when traveling upon any free transportation, may not charge any mileage against the state, or if traveling upon a ticket sold at reduced fare, they may not charge mileage in excess of the cost of the ticket.   (3) The carrying free or at reduced rates of property or persons in any of the classes specified in this section must be held to be a reasonable classification by common carriers for those purposes and not to be unjust discrimination. The carriage and transportation by any common carrier at free or reduced rates in any of the cases specified in this section is not a violation of any of the provisions of the laws of Montana and does not subject the common carrier to any penalty.

2021 Montana Code Annotated|Title 69. Public Utilities and Carriers|Chapter 11. Regulation of Carriers|Part 1. General Provisions|69-11-121. Detriment caused by carrier

  69-11-121. Detriment caused by carrier. (1) The detriment caused by the breach of a carrier's obligation to accept freight, messages, or passengers is considered to be the difference between the amount that the carrier had a right to charge for the carriage and the amount that it would be necessary to pay for the same service when it ought to be performed.   (2) The detriment caused by the breach of a carrier's obligation to deliver freight when the carrier has not converted the freight to the carrier's own use is considered to be the value of the freight at the place and on the day at which it should have been delivered, deducting the freightage to which the carrier would have been entitled if the carrier had completed the delivery.   (3) The detriment caused by a carrier's delay in the delivery of freight is considered to be the depreciation in the intrinsic value of the freight during the delay and also the depreciation, if any, in the market value of the freight, other than by reason of a depreciation in the freight's intrinsic value, at the place where it ought to have been delivered and between the day at which it ought to have been delivered and the day of its actual delivery.   (4) The damages prescribed by this section are exclusive of exemplary damages and interest except when those are expressly mentioned. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, a person may not recover a greater amount in damages for the breach of an obligation than the person could have gained by the full performance of the obligation on both sides, except as provided in 27-1-303.
