Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bailment occurs when one person (the bailor) transfers possession of their property to another person (the bailee) for a specific purpose. In this scenario, Josh is the bailor and Billy Bob's is the bailee, as Josh has entrusted his coat to the care of the restaurant. The cloakroom attendant provides a ticket as evidence of the transfer of possession, which Josh will need to present to retrieve his jacket later. Therefore, Josh and Billy Bob's are parties to a bailment contract.
