Halifax Collector Wins Legal Battle With Canada Post Over Hockey Card

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 08 Jun, 2016 11:04 AM
    HALIFAX — An avid eBay bidder in Halifax has won a legal battle against Canada Post over a mangled Conner McDavid hockey card.
     
    David Wayne Clark told Nova Scotia small claims court he purchased the Edmonton Oilers collectible in an online auction for $140 with plans to resell it for more than double that price.
     
    Clark says he had told Canada Post that his community mailbox slot was insecure and expected his mail to be held at the main post office until the lock was fixed.
     
    Clark says mail continued to be delivered to his box, and he was furious to find the McDavid hockey card there one day, completely "ripped up."  
     
    As its sole witness, Canada Post called the letter carrier who delivers to the mailbox on his daily route, who said he delivered the mail to Clark personally.
     
    Adjudicator Eric Slone found Canada Post was negligent in delivering the mail to a defective box where it could be vandalized and awarded Clark nearly $240.
