Hire Definition

A bailment In which compensation is to be given for the use of a thing, or for labor and services about it. 2 Kent, Comm. 456; Story, Bailm. § 359. The divisions of this species of contract are denoted by Latin names. Locatio opens faciendi is the hire of labor and work to be done, or care and attention to be bestowed, on the goods let by the hirer, for a compensation. ‘ Locatio operis mereium vehendarum is the hire of the carriage of goods from one place to another, for a compensation. Jones, Bailm. 85, 86, 90, 103, 118; 2 Kent, Comm. 456; Civ. Code La. art. 1709-1711. Locatio rei or locatio conductio rei is the bailment of a thing to be used by the hirer for a compensation to be paid by him. This contract arises from the principles of natural law. It is voluntary, and founded in consent; it involves mutual and reciprocal obligations; and it is for mutual benefit.
