What does BAILEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
A person or party who receives goods from another under an agreement to hold, look after, or use them for a set purpose, without becoming their owner.
In the law of bailment, a bailee takes temporary custody of someone else's property, such as a coat left at a cloakroom or a car handed to a repair shop, while ownership stays with the person who handed it over. The bailee is legally bound to take reasonable care of the item and to return it, or deal with it, exactly as the arrangement requires. This creates a pair of matching legal roles: the person who hands over the goods is the bailor, and the person who receives them is the bailee. Courts have used the concept for centuries to decide who is responsible when borrowed, stored, or repaired property is lost or damaged.
How BAILEE is used
A specialist legal term, mainly met in contract and property law rather than in everyday conversation.
