Hypothetical

Monica asks her friend Hillary to bring her favorite dress — worn, but in fine condition — to the XYZ cleaners to remove a stain. Hillary brings it instead to the nearby ABC cleaners. The ticket ABC gives Hillary has a prominent disclaimer stating that ABC isn't responsible for damage. When Monica goes to retrieve the dress, she discovers a large hole where the stain used to be. When Monica points this out to the ABC clerk and says she wants ABC to pay for a new dress, the clerk cites the disclaimer but offers to have one of ABC's workers stitch up the hole. The clerk admits the repair will be noticed but argues it is a great offer since their ticket shields them from liability. How great is the offer? Does Monica have any claim against Hillary?
True or False: If a teen's first offense is possession of one joint of marijuana, in Massachusetts the teen will be put on probation, but in Nevada the youth risks four years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Monica can't sue her friend. Though most courts would ignore the cleaner's liability disclaimer, many would find a repair sufficient. Others might also allow Monica to recover the difference in value between the repaired dress and the undamaged dress — probably not much since the dress was already used.
