Bailment 2nd Edition - PDF

Bailment by Norman Palmer is the definitive title on the subject in the common law world. This work is the product of immense scholarship in a territory which seems to know no boundaries. The doctrines of the law of bailment have extended their reach beyond the realm of goods to documents which confer or carry a right to goods, even to money.

The work is so wide-ranging that it seems to be as much a text on personal property as on bailment. What is more, it contains a detailed examination of some of the most contentious questions in the law relating to sale of goods, contracts and torts.

This extensive work gives an account of the law of bailment which is both useful to practitioners and challenging to students. Authorities from a wide range of English-speaking countries are included. While most of the decisions are drawn from England, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, cases from Scotland, Ireland, the West Indies, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Uganda, South Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands are also discussed. In addition, the main statutory provisions in England and Australia are discussed and United States authority is drawn on to illuminate contentious questions.

Out of print since 1996, this reknown title is now available in high quality PDF.
