A quick definition of custodiae causa:

Term: CUSTODIAE CAUSA

Definition: Custodiae causa is a Latin term used in Scots law to describe the purpose of a bailment. It means "for keeping" or "for preserving." In simpler terms, it refers to the reason why someone is entrusted with the care of something.

A more thorough explanation:

CUSTODIAE CAUSA

CUSTODIAE CAUSA is a Latin term used in Scots law to refer to the purpose of a bailment, which is for keeping or preserving.

When a person entrusts their valuable possessions to someone else for safekeeping, such as leaving their jewelry with a friend while on vacation, the purpose of the bailment is custodiae causa.

Another example is when a person leaves their car with a mechanic for repairs. The mechanic has custody of the car for the purpose of repairing it, which is custodiae causa.

The examples illustrate the concept of custodiae causa by showing situations where one person entrusts their property to another person for a specific purpose. In both cases, the person holding the property has a duty to keep it safe and return it to the owner once the purpose of the bailment has been fulfilled.
