Re: agencies
Hello. If the agent's wrongdoing took
place while the agent was on the job,
then the principal can be liable even
if the act was outside of the agent's assigned tasks. However, an intentional tort, or illegal act, will not bind the principal. In other words intentional violations of the law or "torts" result in the agent be liable and not the principal. Will be happy to discuss this further and in more detail
