Assignment task:
Brian is travelling interstate for an extended period and decides to garage his sports car with Custom Car Storage Pty Ltd in Sydney. Brian enters the office and leaves his car keys with the clerk. He pays the storage fees by credit card and is handed a typed piece of paper. On the back of the document are conditions relating to storage of property, which include an exclusion of any liability for damage to or loss of property held in storage. The manager of Custom Car Storage Pty Ltd later realizes that the vehicle has been put in an incorrect garage. While moving the car to the correct garage bay, he collides with a concrete column and causes considerable damage to the vehicle. Fully advise Custom Car Storage Pty Ltd as to whether the exclusion clause can be relied on to escape liability for damage to Brian's car?
