What does BAILOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
A person or party who hands over goods to another under a bailment, while keeping ownership of them.
The bailor is the counterpart of the bailee: where the bailee takes temporary charge of property, the bailor is the one who entrusts it, retaining legal ownership throughout. If a piece of jewellery is left with a jeweller for cleaning, the owner is the bailor and the jeweller is the bailee, and the arrangement fixes what each side may do with the item. The distinction matters in disputes over lost or damaged property, since a court must work out whether the bailor gave clear instructions and whether the other party kept to them. Like its counterpart, the term belongs almost entirely to the law of contract and property rather than to ordinary speech.
How BAILOR is used
A technical legal term, used together with bailee to describe the two sides of a bailment.
- As bailor, she still owned the piano even while it sat in the mover's van.
- The bailor had asked for the goods to be stored in a dry warehouse.
- A bailor who lends a tool keeps ownership of it throughout the loan.
- The court asked what instructions the bailor had given before the loss.
- Under the agreement, the bailor could reclaim the property at any time.
