For first contract of sale it is Executory contract..because there is both side of liability to fulfill work..

in the second case i think both can be done..i mean stopage in trasist and withholding..

and coming to third case it is bailment..

CONTRACT OF SALE IS BOTH EXECUTED AS WELL AS EXECUTORY .... THIS IS BASICALLY BECAUSE .IN A CONTRACT OF SALE IS EXECUTED BUT IT INCLUDES AGREEMENT TO SALE WHICH IS EXECUTORY ....... SO THE ANSWER IS BOTH ....

2) RIGHT TO STOPPAGE IN TRANSIT ... CAN BE INVOKED .. ONLY WHEN THE BUYER HAS BECOME INSOLVENT .......RIGHT OF LIEN ... CAN ALSO BE INVOKED ...(BOTH )

3)BAILMENT : IF HE HAD DELIVERED TWO SUIT LENGHTS .. TO STICH HIM A NEW WINTER SUIT .. & WITH THE INSTRUCTION TO RETURN TWO SUTIT LENGHTS AFTER STICHING SUIT .... THEN IT BECOMES A BAILMENT BECAUSE THE GOODS ARE DELIVERE FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSE UNDER A CONTRACT .. WITH A CONDITION TO RETURN ... THEN IT BECOMES BAILMENT ..

IF HE HAD ASKED TO RETURN THE MERE WINTER SUIT AFTER STICHING IT BECOMES AN AGREEMENT TO SALE ... UR QUESTION (3) IS SOME WHAT NOT CLEAR

ALL THE BEST
