PENDING PENDANT Sally borrowed a diamond pendant from her friend, Alice, to wear at her daughter’s wedding. Sally wore the diamond for a large part of the evening, but sometime towards the end of the reception, she realized it was missing. She searched the wedding hall throughout the night, but was unable to find the pendant. In the morning she contacted Alice and informed her of the unfortunate turn of events, and offered to compensate her friend for the loss. Shortly after Alice collected from Sally $9700 for the missing pendant, the caterer called Sally notifying her that he found the diamond wedged between the floor and a beam in the ballroom. Sally rushed to pick up the pendant and immediately went to Alice’s home with the find. At the front door, Alice refused to accept the pendant and was unwilling to return Sally her money. In Bet Din, Sally demanded the right to return the pendant and retrieve the $9700 that she had paid, explaining that the pendant was Alice’s property for which she mistakenly paid. Alice responded that she had already spent a large portion of the funds on other jewelry and clothing, and was therefore unwilling to return the money. HOW SHOULD THE BET DIN RULE – IN FAVOR OF SALLY OR ALICE, AND WHY?
