Author: Kuba PastulaAnswer:
True, Morris v Martin & Sons - in this instance, the plaintiff deposited her fur stole (a sort of short cape) with her furrier for cleaning. The furrier did not carry out cleaning himself but passed it on to the defendants (who became sub-bailees). The stole was stolen by one of the defendants’ staff. The defendant was held liable in trover for the act of its servant, even though it was a crime
