Bava Kamma 98: Indirect Damages: Who Is Liable?
from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
If one throws another's coin into the Mediterranean Sea, when is that exempt from paying back and when must you? Also, what if one burns a promissory note? Doesn't that cancel the debt, because there's no proof of the loan. Also, the indirect causation of damages - when is one liable for it, and when not (dina de-garmi). Also, the case of bread (chametz) that is stolen and returned after Pesach, so the item no longer has value - what is the thief obligated to pay, if at all? Plus, how this case leads into a discussion of shor ha-niskal, the ox that is to be judged for death because it killed a person - and is also prohibited from benefit. Plus, a new mishnah about when a craftsperson damaged the item one left for repair.
