Document Summary
When your employee drinks and drives and kills someone the company is also liable and will be charged however an employer can"t physically stop an employee from leaving a party drunk. Considered assault as soon as physical contact is engaged under tort law. Employer can be charged with theft if they keep keys (just call police) Social party (you have a party with friends) If its a byob party - social host isnt responsible for what you drink but they have the obligation of ensuring that the state they leave in is ok. Anonymous posting of someone and shaming them online is more damaging, their credibility cannot be assessed (?? what does this relate to) (im not sure whos credibility hes talking about) Contracts implications of different kinds of breaches suing for damages etc. Discharge of contract (external, unavoidable event referring a contract impossible, so the agreed party cannot sue the other party)
