Types of Bailments

Gratuitous Bailments

A gratuitous bailment is one in which the transfer of property or goods is done at no cost to either party; the transfer of goods or property is usually done as a favour between the parties. No money is earned or paid. The most common examples of gratuitous bailments are the situations in which friends borrow goods from each other, neighbours look after property for each other as a favour. Such bailments can benefit either the bailor or the bailee or both. The bailor, for example, benefits when she leaves a pet with a neighbour. The bailee benefits when he or she borrows and uses a friend’s or neighbour’s slide projector or tools. Both benefit when a person leaves her stereo with a friend and gives him permission to use it until she returns. In any of these situations no contract exists between the parties.

Bailments for Consideration or Reward

Bailments in which consideration is exchanged between the parties are a key part of the daily operation of many different businesses. In recent years the number of businesses that rent store, repair and transort goods has increased considerably. An example of this type of bailment occurs when money is paid by a bailee to rent a car from a bailor. Both parties receive some benefit from the transaction. The bailee receives the benefit of the use of the rented car, while the bailor receives a payment of money for the use of the car.

Storing Goods

Storage and warehousing are other forms of bailments that occur regularly in the business world. When families move from a large house into an apartment they may rent storage space in a warehouse for the furniture that will not fit into the apartment.

Private and Common Carriers

A carrier is a bailee that carries goods for other people. There are two types of carriers – private and common. A private carrier is one that reserves the right to accept or reject the transportation of goods for parties that request the service. Because the carrier is a bailee in a bailment for consideration it must take reasonable care of the goods and is liable for any losses due to negligence. A common carrier is one that is in the business of transporting goods for any party that requests the service. Airlines, trucking lines and buses all fall under this category. A common carrier cannot choose its customers, it must carry the goods if spare is available and the fee is paid. A common carrier is also an insurer of the goods carried. The goods are automatically insured because common carries have complete charge of the goods during shipping and their business is to be responsible for the safe delivery of the goods.

Translate the following sentences into Ukrainian:

Compensation must be paid for that.

Tort law deals with compensating injured persons who are the victims of noncriminal wrongs.

International tort refers to a civil wrong purposely inflicted on other persons or their property, such as assault, slander or libel.

Negligence is a civil wrong based on careless behavior that causes injury to another person.

Businesses have faced a growing number of suits charging them with slander (spoken defamation) and libel (written defamation), both of which are torts.

A tort is a civil injury to people, their property or their reputation.

Torts may be intentional, or may occur through negligence.

The law of tort is closely related to the law of agency, because the business entity, or principal, can be held liable for the tort committed by its agents in the course of business dealings.

 

TEXT A

Tort Law

 

Tort law applies to most business relationships not governed by a contract. A tort (French for “wrong”) refers to a civil wrong inflicted on other people or their property. A tort is a civil – noncriminal – injury to people, their property or their reputation. Compensation must be paid for that. The law of tort is closely related to the law of agency, because the business entity, or principal, can be held liable for the tort committed by its agents in the course of business dealings.

Tort law differs from both criminal and contract law. Criminal law is concerned with crimes against the state or society.

Tort law deals with compensating injured persons who are the victims of noncriminal wrongs. For example, if a person violates zoning laws by opening a convenience store in a residential area, she (or he) cannot be sent to jail, as would be the case in a criminal violation. But a variety of other legal measures can be pursued – for example, fines or seizure of property.

In recent years, businesses have faced a growing number of suits charging them with stander (spoken defamation of character) and libel (written defamation of character), both of which are torts.

Many torts, such as assault, are intentional actions carried out by the wrongdoer. Torts may be intentional or may occur through negligence. Intentional torts result from the deliberate actions of another person or firm. Examples of an intentional tort are slander, libel and fraud. Businesses can become involved in such cases through the actions of both owners and employees. The security guard who roughly handles a suspected shoplifter and holds the suspect in the manager’s office for questioning may be committing a tort if his or her conduct is excessive or otherwise unjustified. Under agency law, the store owner can be held liable for any damages or injury caused by the security guard.

The other major group of torts is negligence. Negligence is the lack of reasonable care and caution. This type of tort is based on careless behavior that causes injury to another person.

Under agents law, businesses are held liable for the negligence of their employees or agents. The delivery truck driver who kills a pedestrian while delivering goods creates tort liability for his or her employer if the accident results from negligence.

Product Liability Torts

 

An area of tort law known as product liability has been developed by both statutory and case law to hold businesses liable for negligence in the design, manufacture, sale and/or use of products. This area of tort law is particularly worrisome to businesses. Product liability suits hold a company responsible for injuries caused by its product.

Toy manufacturers have lost product liability lawsuit when children swallowed small parts from their toys. These lawsuits charged that the manufacturers should have more clearly labeled their toys.

Consumer groups have argued for some time that the law governing civil liability for damage due to defective goods is unfair. For a consumer to sue a manufacturer he must either proceed via a chain of contractual actions or he must sue for negligence and prove fault. This means that the law often fails to regulate the conduct of those responsible for the damage.

To succeed in a product liability claim against a manufacturer the plaintiff must show four things:

1) That the product contained a defect.

2) That the plaintiff suffered damage.

3) That the damage was caused by the product.

4) That the defendant was a producer, ‘own brander’ or importer of the product.

A supplier will also be liable if he fails identify the producer or importer when requested to do so.

Some states have extended the theory of tort to cover injuries caused by products regardless of whether the manufacturer is proven negligent. This legal concept is known as strict product liability. Lately, businesses have faced a number of strict product liability torts that involve harm arising without either intent or negligence.

Recent strict product liability cases have focused on injuries and illnesses caused by toxic waste or other dangerous substances. These suits frequently succeed because plaintiffs in these cases need not show negligence or fault on the part of the defendant. The number of such cases seems likely to increase in the future.

Careful supervision of employees and careful on-the-job conduct by employees are the best ways to avoid tort liability. However, with tort damages running higher and higher, most firms have turned to liability insurance for production, though insurance would be expensive and some smaller businesses could be forced to close.

My speciality

We live in the most wonderful time of developing specialities connected with economics and business. I study at Kiev National University of Trade and Economics and major in Commercial (Business) Law.

Without law people would be free to act ‘at will’ and everyone’s life and property would constantly be at risk. Laws are simply the codified rules of behaviour enforced by a society.

Law is crucial to business success. One cannot conduct any type of business activity without reference to business law. All business decisions must take into account the legal consequences. Executives learn how to apply legal standards to their decisions. In a broad sense, all law is business law because all businesses are subject to the entire body of law. But in a narrower sense, business law consists of those aspects of law that most directly influence and regulate the management of various types of business activity. Specific laws vary widely from business to business and from industry to industry. Business law includes those branches of law that relate to contracts, agency, sales law, bankruptcy, insurance, negotiable instruments and business organization.

On the other hand, laws are necessary in society to prevent chaos. Laws are directly related to human activity and reflect changing social and political attitudes. They apply to both businesses and individual citizens. Knowledge, of the legal system and how it operates is part and parcel of economic management. Commercial law has a special facination for me and I’ll try to do my best to become a good specialist in this sphere.

 

Check yourself:

Where do you study?

What is law to business success?

What does business law consist of?

What does business law include?

Why are laws necessary in society?
