Document Summary

Vicarious liability: the liability at law of one person for the acts of another, applied to cases when one person controls the activity of another to such an extent that the act of one may be attributed to the other, for example, an employer is usually vicariously liable for the torts of the firm"s employees, provided that the torts are committed by the employees in the regular course of business. The duty of care for the owner applies in descending order to trespassers, licensees and invitees: trespassers have the lowest duty of care for an owner, the trespasser comes onto the land without permission and therefore mostly at their own risk, licensees, who normally enter an owners land with the express or implied permission for their own benefit, like someone who crosses land to get to a boat they own.
