Brink's Global Services, a shipment company, was sued after it allegedly damaged some $700,000 in jewelry belonging to Maxine Company, Inc.
Since the shipment wasn't identified as "fragile"--sparing Maxine additional handling fees--both the New York County Supreme Court and the Appellate Division, First Department, read the parties' contract as limiting Brink's liability to when there's a loss of a shipment.
What a gem.
