Question

Batman and Superman were going to meet for dinner at The Riddler’s Italian Restaurant. Batman was very excited because he just purchased a brand new Batmobile. He parked his Batmobile in the self-service park-and-lock lot of Penguin Parking Lot, Inc. The ticket that he received from the ticket meter stated the following:

“NOTICE. THIS CONTRACT LIMITS OUR LIABILITY. READ IT. WE RENT SPACE ONLY. NO BAILMENT IS CREATED.”

Batman parked the Batmobile himself and kept the bat keys. There was no attendant at the lot. Two hours later, Batman left the restaurant and was heading back to the parking lot when he saw Wonder Woman. They started talking about the upcoming Hall of Justice party. Thirty minutes later, Batman went to the parking lot and discovered that his Batmobile had been stolen. Batman sued Penguin Parking Lot on the theory that it had breached its duty as a bailee. Was there a bailment?

Business law

Answer 1

A bailment contract is the contract in which a delivery of goods by one person to another for some purposeand when the purpose is accomplished, he will returned or otherwise disposed of according the direction of the bailor

In the present case batman self parked batmobile in the penguin park and keep key of batmobile in own pocket.

Hence in this case deleverY of goods no compelete because batman parked batmobile and keep keys so bailment contract not complete. No matter arise for breached of duty as a bailee.

Here, no bailment.
