Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Special bailments are those where the bailee (the person in possession of the goods) has a duty to take special care of the goods, and the bailment is for the mutual benefit of both the bailor (the owner of the goods) and the bailee. Storage of goods in a warehouse and shipment of goods by a common carrier are examples of special bailments, as they involve the bailee taking special care of the goods for the benefit of both parties.
