Principal-agent Liability

Principal-Agent Liability is a form of vicarious liability in which a principal is held legally responsible for the tortious acts of an agent committed within the scope of the agency relationship, distinguished by the existence of consensual authority and control characteristic of principal-agent dynamics as opposed to other employer-employee or master-servant relationships.
