Question:
My son, who attends school, came to class with a ‘mp3’ and used it during the lesson, the teacher took the mp3, and told my sonthat will return it at the weekend, during the week the mp3 was stolen, probably by one of the cleaning workers without the ability to prove it, I of course justify taking the mp3 during the lesson, but in my opinion the teacher should bear the payment of the loss of the mp3 who was his responsibility, is this the way of law?
Answer:
The teacher is defined as a ‘free keeper’ rather than a ‘payroll keeper’ – and therefore it is necessary to check if he has placed the mp3 in an unguarded place, after all, a crime is maintained and must pay – but if he has kept it properly, such as that he placed the mp3 in a locked drawer, and the drawer was breached, he does not have to pay.
