707. Transferring Through a Makom Patur or Carmelis

Shabbos 14:14

One is not liable for transferring something from one private domain to another by way of a carmelis (quasi-public domain), nor for transferring something from one public domain to another by way of a carmelis. Similarly, one who passes or throws something from one of these domains to the same type of domain by way of a carmelis is not liable. If a person moves something from a public domain to a carmelis, puts it down in the carmelis, and afterwards then picks it up and brings it into a private domain, he is not liable. The same is true if one moves an object from a private domain to a carmelis, puts it down in the carmelis, and then picks it up and brings it into a public domain.

Shabbos 14:15

One is liable for transferring an object from a private domain to a public domain even if he passes through a makom patur (exempt area) because one who is walking is not considered to have stood still (which would be necessary for the object to be considered as having come to rest in the makom patur). If a person throws something through a makom patur, it certainly is not considered as having come to rest. One is not liable if he stands in a makom patur, takes something from a private domain or from someone standing in a private domain, and places it down in a public domain or in the hands someone standing in the public domain. The same is true if someone transferred an object from a public domain to a private domain by way of a makom patur in which he was standing.
