Explain Bailee as Repairers and Hotelkeepers

Question

Explain Bailee as Repairers and Hotelkeepers?

Answer 1

Repairers are bailees for value with a standard of care similar to that of a warehousing company and an obligation to do the repairs in a workmanlike manner and in the time promised.

A hotel or inn (a place of lodging that cannot choose its customers) has a duty to take reasonable care and, in some instances, acts as an insurer against theft or loss of its guests' goods. Provincial legislation enables a hotel to limit liability for loss or theft of goods except if the loss of theft occurs through a wilful act of an employee or through the hotel's refusal to accept a guest's goods for safekeeping.
