Proposed Mississippi Plain Language Model Jury Instructions - Civil 3207
Bailment - Ownership of the Property and Returning the Property to its Actual Owner
The bailee does not take ownership of the bailment property while [he/she] possesses the
property. If the property is owned by someone other than the bailor, then the bailee may return it
to either the bailor or the actual owner. If the bailee proves that [he/she] gave the property to the
actual owner, then it is a complete legal defense to any claim made by the bailor for not returning
the property to [him/her].
