The following excerpt is from Greening v. Canada (Fisheries and Oceans), 1997 CanLII 14717 (NL CA):
Where therefore there is nothing in the circumstances to cause a reasonable person, reasonably informed as to the proposed bailee, to consider that it would be likely that the article, if bailed, would be used in contravention of the Act, then the standard of reasonable care should be set in that light, without, necessarily, any requirement to make an inquiry that would not have occurred to that reasonable person. (b) The Decision in Deputy Minister of National Revenue v. Industrial Acceptance Corporation Limited
