Exercise 19

Cook's Department Store advertises that it maintains in its store a barbershop managed by Hunter. Actually, Hunter is not an employee of the store but merely rents space in it. While shaving Jordon in the barbershop, Hunter negligently puts a deep gash into one of Jordon's ears, requiring ten stitches. Should Jordon be entitled to collect damages from Cook's Department Store?
