The Research On Whether Parking Lots Are Liable When Cars Are Stolen

Different judges and scholars hold different opinion about ―whether parking lots shall be held liable when cars in parking lots are stolen‖. The reason why the difference exists is that some of them believe the contract between car owners and parking lots is storage contract while others reckon that it is leasing contract. It would be inconsistent with binding law if it were deemed as leasing contract and hence with exceptions, the contract between car owners and parking lots shall be deemed as storage contract. Furthermore, as the key to the formation of the storage contract, ―delivery‖ shall be interpreted as ―under the control of parking lots‖.
