CONT

The learned editor [of "Williston on Contracts"] propounds a four-fold classification into: 1. Gratuitous bailments for the bailor’s sole benefit. 2. Gratuitous bailments for the bailee’s sole benefit. 3. Bailments for mutual benefit. 4. Bailments to which the law, for reasons of policy, attaches exceptional obligations. (Palmer, p. 91)

CONT

Dubinsky J. remarked upon the trend towards clarification or standardisation of the bailee's duty of care and held that the duty in the present case would be the same whether the relationship were one of commodatum, depositum, or bailment for mutual advantage.(Palmer, p. 371)

DEF

The holding of a chattel under such circumstances that the law imposes upon the person in possession the obligation to deliver the chattel to another. (Ballentine’s, 3rd ed., 1969, p. 255)

CONT

In... situations involving possession by one of another's goods without mutual consent but without initial wrongdoing on the possessor's part, courts have placed great importance on how the relationship is labelled or characterized. Sometimes the term used is "constructive bailment", which usually connotes a recognition that the relationship really is not a bailment together with a determination that the law of bailments shall be applied nonetheless.(Brown, 3rd ed., 1975, p. 320)
