Question:
West purchased a horse from Strauss. When West discovered that the horse had a leg injury, he got a driver to return the horse to Strauss, but Strauss refused to accept delivery. Not knowing what to do with the injured animal, the driver took it to Bailey. Five months later, Bailey sent bills for the horse’s care to West, who returned them with a note saying he did not own the horse. Bailey sued West for the expenses incurred in boarding the horse. West argued that, when Bailey accepted the horse, he was aware of the controversy regarding the horse’s ownership, so he could not reasonably expect to be compensated. Who wins, and why?
