Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 28.030
Bailee’s Duty: Gratuitous Bailment
If the bailment is for the benefit of the bailor alone, then the bailee has a duty to the bailor to
use only slight care or diligence 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 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.
