Oded is the bailor of the vehicle because he gave possession of the vehicle to Boucher. Boucher is the bailee of the vehicle because they are in possession of the vehicle and responsible for its care while it is being repaired. However, when Boucher delivers the vehicle to Welding Unlimited Limited, Boucher becomes the sub-bailor because they are temporarily giving up possession of the vehicle to another party for the purposes of repair. Welding Unlimited Limited is the sub-bailee because they are temporarily in possession of the vehicle while making the repairs. Once the repairs are completed, Welding Unlimited Limited returns the vehicle to Boucher, who becomes the bailee once again. Therefore, Boucher is both the bailee and the sub-bailor of the vehicle.
