Solution
Hover or tap a marked figure, like 72,000, to see how it is made and where else it appears.
- Contract: bailment rests on a contract, express or implied; no consideration is necessary.
- Delivery of goods: goods are delivered by one person to another, actually or constructively; bailment is only of movable goods, never of immovable property or money.
- Purpose: the goods are delivered for some purpose, express or implied.
- Possession, not ownership: possession changes but ownership does not; the bailor remains owner. A person with mere custody (a servant holding his master's goods) is not a bailee.
