gratuitous bailment

gratuitous bailment
A bailment without compensation; according to some authority a bailment intended for the sole benefit of the bailor or a bailment intended for the sole benefit of the bailee. 8 Am J2d Bailm § 7. In view of the fact that some courts regard a gratuitous bailment as on only for the sole benefit of the bailor, it is perhaps better to avoid altogether a classification of bailments as "gratuitous", and to adopt instead the three-fold general classification of (1) those for the sole benefit of the bailor; (2) those for the sole benefit of the bailee; and (3) those for the mutual benefit of both parties. 8 Am J2d Bailm § 7.
