The doctrine that, in a bailment, both the bailor and the bailee have possession of the item that has been bailed. 1, record 1, English, - double%20possession
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The theoretical justification for this is the doctrine of "double possession" - a principal may have possession through the possession of an agent. This view is in accord with some foreign systems, but it does not suit the basic principles of English law which treats possession as exclusive. 1, record 1, English, - double%20possession
