Deduction from Transportation Payment
Question
I arranged with a car owner to take my son to and from school, and we agreed on specific times. Recently, the driver has not been arriving on time for the return trip, and the child decided it would be better to return on his own. Can I deduct the amount for the return trips from the agreed sum?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
In principle, the law is that in the case you described, you can deduct from the amount. However, it is mandatory to first go to a judge who will hear the arguments of both sides and determine who is right.
