Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Edward is only liable for ordinary negligence, which means that he is only responsible if he fails to exercise reasonable care in safeguarding the goods. He is not strictly liable, as he is not the owner of the goods, and he is not comparably liable, as he is not in a joint venture with the distributors. He is not criminally liable, as his actions do not rise to the level of criminal conduct.
