A quick definition of dock:
A dock is a structure that holds water and is used for ships to load, unload, or be repaired. It can also be a part of a building where trucks come to load and unload. In a criminal court, the dock is where the defendant sits during the trial. A bailee is a person who receives someone else's property to take care of it.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A structure that holds water, usually between two piers, where ships can be loaded, unloaded, repaired, or kept safe. It can also refer to the part of a building where trucks are loaded and unloaded. In English law, it is the enclosure where a criminal defendant is placed during trial.
Examples:
- A cargo ship pulled into the dock to unload its containers.
- The truck backed up to the loading dock to drop off its shipment.
- The defendant stood in the dock during the trial.
The first two examples illustrate the use of a dock as a structure for loading and unloading. The third example shows the use of a dock in English law as the enclosure where a defendant stands during trial.
