mistakes bye the servant under vicarious liability
Answers
Answer:
Master and Servant
In this case, the general rule is that the master is liable for all sorts of acts that are authorized by him. Also, it is included that the acts are done by the servant at the time of his/her employment.
Thus, for the liability to arise, the following conditions should be satisfied. One is that the tort is committed by the servant. And other is that the tort committed by the servant should be at the time of employment.
Although there is a difference between an independent contractor and a servant. An independent contractor is someone who is employed to perform a certain task. Thus, in this, the master cannot determine the way in which the job is to be done.
While a servant is someone who is employed to do the work under the controls of the master and his direction. So, the important thing here to note is that the master is also not liable for the acts that are done by the independent contractor.
