Group 'ג

Case: A camel overflowing with flax is going through the marketplace and catches fire with the lamp of a storeowner left around the marketplace, and damages the store next door. The storeowner is obligated to pay for the damages.

Something similar: Dominoes
Memrot:
Poseket: law is whoever sets up the dominoes takes the credit
Alternative: If he had a partner then the credit is split the same as the workload.
Reasoning: The person who set it up made the awesomeness.
Adding: If someone adds to the end and makes it at least twice as good as it was originally then he gets all the credit.
Ukimtah: What if the additions were better in one person's opinion but not in someone elses?

Cases to be Maykel (lenient): If he used other materials to "transfer" the fall or made bridges he gets more credit.

Cases to be Machmir (strict): If he used heavier dominoes so they would fall easier then he gets less credit.

this is a little different because no one is really harmed. if someone got harmed from dominoes then we would have other problems.

What happens if someone knocks over the dominoes and it is the 10000000 times as long as the original one? What does the guy who knocks them over have to pay?

Leah said...

I agree with Sarah. Making it be dominoes actually makes it HARDER to understand. :)

What if the man who owned the camel was not tending to his camel, therefore he knocked over the lamp. then would it be the camel owner's fault.
