QUESTION TWO
Charles Owino wishes to send a parcel to George Kala in Mombasa by registered post and has approached you for advice. Advice Charles Owino on the conditions of acceptance of a parcel for registered post
- First, under the law a registered post will act as the agent of Charles Owino and thus he will be deemed to have given express authority for such acts of delivery.
- The mail will be considered delivered to George Kala if he expressly authorised the usage of post by stamping the letter and handing it over to the post. In this case, the mail whether obtained or not, will be viewed under the law to have been sent to George Kala.
- Where there is no express authority, the mail will be considered delivered once received by George Kala in Mombasa and thus relieving the poster of any liability.
