Hello, I am in need of assistance to answer the following question in tort law (according to English Law): Graham was employed as a waiter. He prided himself on his physical appearance and his ability to carry trays and dishes with dexterity and professionalism. He developed a tremor in his arm, which affected his ability to carry out these tasks, and consulted Dr Holly about the problem.

The architect and school officials agreed that the Daugherty murals should be preserved. They arranged for the construction workers to remove the murals to prevent harm. By accident, the workers rolled them up and placed them near the trash dumpsters for disposal. A student found the murals and took them home, and later notified the federal government’s General Services Administration (GSA) of his find. The GSA arranged to transport the murals to an art restorer, named Hiram Hoelzer, for storage and eventual restoration, when funds could be arranged. Over 19 years went by before anyone notified the Stamford School system where the murals were. In the meantime, neither the GSA nor anyone else paid Hoelzer for the storage or restoration. By 1989 the murals were valued at $1.25 million by Sotheby’s, an art auction house.…

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS FACTS: Priscilla Webster, a restaurant patron who ordered seafood chowder and choked on a fishbone, brought this case.
