Clancy Cars Ltd. engaged Railco Ltd. to transport several motor vehicles from Montreal to Halifax. The vehicles were to be delivered to Clancys on Wednesday, but they were delayed. On Saturday, an employee of Railco informed Clancys that the vehicles had arrived at Railcos facilities in Halifax and would be delivered to Clancys on Monday.

2. Read the following case, and answer this question:

Was this a bailment situation? Who is responsible for the vehicle? (Explain)

Black was looking to buy a quality used luxury vehicle. He found a 2010 Audi at Dexters Audi that met his needs. He examined the car on several occasions and took it for a couple of test drives. Discussions with Dexters salesperson White were productive and Black and White were close to making a deal. Black wanted to have the car inspected by an expert mechanic before finally agreeing to buy it, so he asked to have the car over a long weekend so he could drive it further and complete the inspection. White agreed, but required Black to sign a draft agreement and pay a deposit on the purchase price. Black signed the document subject to satisfactory inspection. Black took the car, but before the inspection could be done, he encountered a deer on the highway. He swerved to avoid the deer, lost control, went off the road, and hit a tree at high speed. Black was not injured but the car was demolished.
