Excerpt from Outlines of the Law of Bailments and Carriers
§ 1. Definition. - Many attempts have been made to define a bailment but none is free from criticism. For our purpose it is enough to say that -
A bailment is a contract relation resulting from the delivery of personal chattels by the owner, called the bailor, to a second person, called the bailee, for a specific purpose, upon the accomplishment of which the chattels are to be dealt with according to the owner"s direction.
An analysis of this statement will make clear the primary principles applicable to the subject.
§ 2. Contractual relation. - The bailment relation is one of contract and the principles of contract law are applicable thereto.
