Carr v. Hoosier Photo Supplies, Inc.

Carr (plaintiff), a lawyer and amateur photographer generally aware of standard liability limitations, dropped off 18 rolls of Kodak film for developing with Hoosier (defendant), which forwarded them to Kodak (defendant); both the film boxes and the developer's receipts carried notices limiting liability to replacement value, and four rolls were lost. Carr sued for $10,000; the trial court and court of appeals awarded him $1,013.60, rejecting the liability limitation as invalid, and the defendants appealed.
