Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TTC can avoid liability by showing that it did not convert the goods (i.e., did not intentionally take control of them to make them its own) and that it was not negligent in its handling of the goods. The fact that the warehouse is located in a high-crime area or that Unlimited Sales was negligent in hiring TTC does not necessarily absolve TTC of responsibility for the lost container.
