The appeal is allowed because the adjudicator erred in law by applying bailment principles without first directing production and consideration of the contractual terms printed on the back of the receipt; there is no legal basis to impose a duty to keep goods for the duration of the limitation period merely because they might serve as evidence; accordingly the matter must be remitted for trial de novo before a different adjudicator.
