APPRAISAL

Once the contract has expired, there are two possible uses for this record. One would be to bring legal action should the borrower fail to return the seat. The second use would be to protect the department against a negligence suit, claiming improper instructions for seat use and an improperly maintained seat. The parent instruction checklist should suffice to protect the agency against a negligence suit, which has a limitation of 4 years (UCA 78-12-25(2)). Four years should suffice to allow the local health department to bring action against a borrower.
