Question

I went to a clothing sale, and my friend, who couldn't come with me, asked me to take her skirt and try to find a skirt at the sale with the same width and size as her skirt. In fact, due to the chaos at the sale, the skirt was forgotten there. I would very much like to know what the law is: do I need to pay her for the skirt, and if so, how much?

Answer

Hello

You need to pay her for the skirt, but not at the price of a new skirt, rather at the value it was worth at the time of the loss.
