Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this scenario, the car lent by Linda to Simon is an example of bailment for the sole benefit of the bailee. In many common situations, an owner puts an object protected by personal property into the intentional possession of another person with the understanding that the other person must return the object at some point or otherwise dispose of it. This property arrangement is known as a bailment, with the owner known as the bailor and the possessor of the object known as the bailee. In a bailment for the sole benefit of the bailee, such as where the bailee has borrowed the object, the bailee owes a very high duty of care, one that is greater than merely what is "reasonable."
