Additional Info: Tort liability for negligent acts of third party arises under the principle of vicarious liability. Here, one party is held responsible for the actions of another. This is common in cases of employer-employee relationships. The defendant must show a connection between itself and the third-party's actions. The court may impose liability if the defendant had control over the third party's actions or stood to benefit from them. Examples include accidents caused by an employee during work hours or a driver hired by a company.
