Then as now, there were varying classes of "bailees," running from bailees for hire (essentially strict liability for property damage) to inadvertent bailees.
As the law stands, if a person receives unsolicited goods he is in law a gratuitous bailee.
One can conceive of cases in which goods would be exposed to war damage through the negligence of the bailee.
We are also examining ways of increasing accommodation in the community for bailees and how bail information schemes and accommodation networks can best be developed.
The bailee refused to listen to the accused and refused bail, telling her that she could speak at her trial.
If the resulting damage was due to war, the bailee would not be responsible.
These approved premises cater broadly for three groups of residents—bailees, those on community orders with a condition of residence at the hostel, and post-release licencees.
In addition, there are 81 hostels providing 1,647 places either for persons subject to a probation order for bailees.
