Receptum Liability of Skippers, Innkeepers and Stable Keepers in Roman Law

Our study discusses the regulations regarding the liabilities of skippers, innkeepers and stable keepers in Roman Law. It is clear from the resources that actio de damno aut furto adversus nautas, caupones, stabularios‟ and „receptum, nautae, cauponis, stabularii‟ responsibilities used to be regulated in addition to custodia liability arising from the hire of work between the parties, particularly because personnels of skippers, innkeepers and stable keepers were unreliable. These practices, which were implemented with Praetor Edictum and relied on practices of similar quasi torts, widely applied to areas which were not protected by the hire of work in Rome.
