Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 28.010
Bailee’s Duty: Mutual Benefit Bailment
If the bailment is for the mutual benefit of the bailor and the bailee, then the bailee has a duty
to use ordinary care for the protection, preservation and return of the bailed property.
If the bailee fails to perform this duty, then the bailee is liable for any loss or damage to the
property that is caused by such failure.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
