Main samjhata hoon kai employees ke actions se company ki liability hain, lekin iski boundary kaise nirdhaarit hoti hai iska bahut hi bada issue hai. Mere vichar mein, Company's vicar ka koi bhi action employee ke actions se juda ho sakta hai, lekin unka direct control hona zaroori hai. Agree karte hain ki koi bhi vicar company ke action se juda ho skta hai.
