Legal Question
Who is liable for damages when there was no written contract ?
On Friday night 3/30/01 my son rented the use of a gym for a dance party - he paid $2000 cash for 5 hours rental. It was a spur of the moment affair so no contract was shown or signed, nor did he receive a receipt. During the party $600 of damage was done to some equipment. My son is just 17 (not legal) so the owner called me yesterday 4/9/01 and stated that if I did not come in by 4/11/01 and pay the $600 that he would start legal proceedings against me. I am at a loss as to MY rights in this deal - morally it is my (my sons) bill and I do realize that the renting of the gym is basically an ''implied'' contract - so he did rent the space and therfore the equipment within . But I would think that the gym has insurance to repair their equipment and I am a little concerned that the owner is only taking cash - with no receipts - for these events. Please advise
