Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the legal basis of vicarious liability, exploring the underlying principles that determine when one person is held responsible for the actions of another. The author traces the historical evolution of this doctrine, examining how it has been shaped by changing social and economic conditions. The book argues that the modern extension of vicarious liability is rooted in public policy, recognizing the need to distribute the costs of industrial accidents and other workplace-related injuries. It explores the practical implications of this principle, examining the challenges and complexities involved in determining the scope of employment and establishing liability. The author also considers the ethical dimensions of vicarious liability, questioning whether it is just to hold employers responsible for the actions of their employees, even when they are not personally at fault. Through a nuanced analysis of case law and legal theory, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the basis and implications of vicarious liability, offering valuable insights for legal practitioners, scholars, and anyone interested in the intersection of law and social policy.
