Question

Can someone give me an example of establishment of responsibility?

Answer 1

An establishment of responsibility can be when you assume responsibility for people or items.

For instance, if you are a receptionist for a company, and you sign for a fedex package, you have established responsibility for that package.

If you vouch for a person or say bail them out of jail, you have provided an establishment of responsibility, providing money on the promise that they will show up in court.
