Have you had reason to consider the principles of vicarious liability for one of your cases?

Recently, Zaparas Lawyers saw a client who was seriously assaulted in his workplace by a colleague.  Is the employer vicariously liable for its employee’s actions?  The High Court decision of Prince Alfred College Incorporated v ADC [2016] HCA 37 provides useful guidance on the approach to taken by Courts in determining whether an employer is liable for the wrongful (criminal) acts of an employee. 

Zaparas Lawyers, committed to fighting hard for its clients’ rights.
