Definition of slight negligence

Definition: Slight negligence is a failure to exercise the great care of an extraordinarily prudent person, resulting in liability in special circumstances (especially those involving bailments or carriers) in which lack of ordinary care would not result in liability; lack of great diligence.

Example: A carrier who transports valuable goods is held to a higher standard of care than an ordinary person. If the carrier fails to exercise the great care of an extraordinarily prudent person, resulting in damage to the goods, they may be liable for slight negligence.

This example illustrates that in certain situations, a higher standard of care is expected, and failure to meet that standard can result in liability for slight negligence.
