Nevada Revised Statutes 503.035 – Meat or game processor: Disposal for distribution by Department of game for which processing or storage charges are not paid; immunity; civil remedies
1. ’Meat or game processor’ as used in this section means any person, firm or corporation that receives any game for the purpose of processing or storage or for the purposes of processing and storage.
Terms Used In Nevada Revised Statutes 503.035
- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- person: means a natural person, any form of business or social organization and any other nongovernmental legal entity including, but not limited to, a corporation, partnership, association, trust or unincorporated organization. See Nevada Revised Statutes 0.039
2. Any meat or game processor who receives any game for the purpose of processing or storage may, within 90 days after the receipt thereof, if such game remains in the possession of such meat or game processor, dispose of such game to the Department if the owner of such game has not paid such meat or game processor for the processing or storage thereof.
3. The Department shall distribute such game to public charities on a fair and equitable basis.
4. No action may be commenced against such meat or game processor by the owner of such game after such game has been delivered to the Department under the provisions of this section.
5. Nothing in this section deprives a meat or game processor of any remedy at law available to a creditor against a debtor for the recovery of any money or other legal consideration owing from the owner of the game to the meat or game processor for such processing or storage.
