What is Vicarious Liability?
In many areas of law, employers may be held liable for the wrongful actions of their agents and employees.
This is what is known as ‘vicarious liability’ in law. If an employee does something “in the course of his or her employment”, the employer may, in certain circumstances, be liable for those actions. Discrimination law is no exception.
Because of this, it is important for employers to have good procedures in place to protect the employer as much as possible.
