A chauffeur who takes his employer's car without authority collides with a cyclist. His employer is not responsible. Yet if the car also suffered damage and was entrusted to the employer under a bailment for purposes of hire on repair, he would be answerable to the bailor, not because of any vicarious or imputed liability but because of his personal duty as bailee.  2, record 1, English, - imputed%20liability

Possession may be acquired by delivery of the chattel by the bailor to the bailee. The delivery may be none the less real and effective although the receiver is a fraudulent person intending to deal with the chattel dishonestly, but although in such cases there may be a transfer of possession sufficient to make the receiver a buyer in possession or a mercantile agent, there would appear to be no true bailment.(Crossley Vains, 5th ed., 1973, p. 82)  1, record 5, English, - transfer%20of%20possession

A gratuitous loan is a class of bailment called "commodatum" in the civil law, and denominated by Sir William Jones as a loan for use (prêt à uage), to distinguish it from mutuum, a loan for consumption. (Jowitt, p. 1110)  1, record 9, English, - gratuitous%20loan

Record number: 9, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Nature of gratuitous loan for use. In deposit and mandate the bailor has all the advantages of the bailment. In gratuitous loan for use the reverse is the case. This is a bailment where a chattel is lent by its owner to the bailee for the express purpose of conferring a benefit upon the bailee, without any corresponding advantage to its owner. By English law this agreement is confined to goods, chattels or personal property, and does not, as under the Roman civil law, extend to real estate.(2 Hals., 4th, p. 849)  1, record 9, English, - gratuitous%20loan
