Tonight: The Elastication of Vicarious Liability- How far will it stretch?

11/07/2023

Online- Tuesday 11 July 2023

In 2016, The High Court said that "common law courts have struggled to find a coherent basis for identifying the circumstances in which an employer should be held vicariously liable for the negligent acts of an employee, let alone, criminal acts". Since that time, a steady flow of jurisprudence, linked primarily to historical sexual abuse cases, has emerged. Joined by speaker Shaun McCarthy, this seminar examines those cases and discusses where the law is currently at, and speculates as to where it might end up.

This CPD is aimed at all barristers in practice and will be chaired by David Hooke SC.
