accomenda

accomenda (ak-[schwa]-men-d[schwa]). Hist. Maritime law. A contract between a cargo owner and a shipmaster whereby the parties agree to sell the cargo and divide the profits (after deducting the owner’s costs). • This contract actually consists of two agreements: a mandatum, by which the owner gives the shipmaster the power to dispose of the cargo, and a partnership contract, by which the parties divide any profits arising from the sale.
