Does the standard of care for gratuitous bailees apply?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Gravina v. Welsh, 2018 ONSC 5638 (CanLII):
Some decisions suggest that the standard of care of gross negligence only applies to gratuitous bailees where the bailment of goods is for the benefit of the bailor alone: Carlisle at para. 20, citing Palin v. Read (1884), 10 A.R. 63. The Defendant advances the position that gross negligence applies in this case.
