Tort Liability of Employer - Kya Correct Hai?
torts clat_pg beginner mcq_debateWe were discussing this question in our study group and got stuck. Ruchi thinks the correct answer is A, while I think it's B. Question is: What is the liability of the employer in the case of a vicarious liability tort?
Question: In the case of Ashby vs. White (1670), an election was wrongly held and when the complainant (Ashby) approached the Returning Officer (White), he was beaten up by some agents of the Returning Officer. Ashby sued White for conspiracy to prevent him from voting. However, the jury found White liable for the actions of his agents.
Option A: Both A and B are correct Option B: The employer (Returning Officer) is liable Option C: The agents are directly liable Option D: The employer is not liable
Ruchi says the employer can be vicariously liable under the 'respondeat superior' doctrine, but I disagree.
