bailler

OBS: bailler : terme normalisé par le Comité de normalisation dans le cadre du Programme national de l'administration de la justice dans les deux langues officielles (PAJLO).

CONT: (M)edieval law had ""but a meagre stock of words"" to describe dealings with movable goods. The owner was said to bail (bailler) his chattel ""whenever and for whatever purpose"" he delivered possession of it to another, although in later times bailment was restricted to cases in which there was no transfer of ownership. (Crossley Vaines, 5th ed., 1973, p.71).
