Under Acquiring Personal Property Rights - Business Law

Rose and Caradoc were romantically involved for several years. During that time, she gave a necklace to him. The couple then had a terrible fight and broke up. Because he no longer wanted anything to do with Rose, Caradoc threw the necklace into a garbage can that was located in the main hall of a railway station. That station is owned by the Regional Transport Authority (RTA), but members of the public are always welcome. Francis saw the necklace in the garbage and took it home with him. All four parties (Francis, Rose, Caradoc, and the RTA) now claim the right to possession of the necklace. Which of the following statements is most likely TRUE?

Question 10 options:

• Rose is entitled to the necklace as long as she paid for it initially.

• Francis is entitled to the necklace as long as he intended to exercise control over it.

• RTA is entitled to the necklace as long as the garbage can was located on its property.

• Caradoc is entitled to the necklace as long as he has honestly changed his mind and truly does want possession of it.
