Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A bailment involves transferring possession of goods to one who is not the owner. To create a bailment, the bailee must assume physical control with intent to possess and return the property or deliver the property to whomever the bailor designates.


A) This is a bailment. The car owner is the bailor and Farmer Frank is the bailee. The owner of the classic car delivers physical control to Farmer Frank. The bailment is a mutual benefit bailment.
B) Yes, this is a bailment. The owner of the residential goods is the bailor. The moving company is the bailee. The moving company takes physical possession and control of the residential goods. This is a mutual benefit bailment.
C) Yes, this is a bailment. As the owner of the lawn mower, you are the bailor. The neighbor is the bailee. The neighbor is taking physical possession of the mower. This is a bailment for the sole benefit of the bailee.
D) No, this is not a bailment. The owner of the car is not giving up control of the car. The owner of the parking lot is not in possession of the keys to the car.
