Roderick, Munday. 11 The Tortious Liabilities of Principal and Agent. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780198784685.003.0011.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the personal liabilities incurred by both principals and agents for the torts they commit. An agent is personally liable for torts committed in the course of the agency that occasion damage to a third party, irrespective of whether the agent was acting within or outside the principal’s authority. The tortious liability of the principal is more varied. A principal is personally liable for torts which the agent has been authorized to commit. In addition, the principal is also vicariously liable for torts committed by the agent in the course of employment. Finally, as in the case of master and servant, when the principal is liable for the tortious acts of the agent, technically principal and agent are joint tortfeasors and enjoy rights of contribution against one another under the Civil Liability (Contribution) Act 1978. The chapter looks at common forms of tortious liability affecting agency.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter distinguishes torts from crimes in terms of the moral costs created by crimes, discusses the nature and incidence of these costs and the problems of assigning liability prices to compensate for them, and describes criminal liability as organized vengeance, a means of inflicting visible, proportioned suffering on offenders as compensation for the moral costs imposed by crimes. The ideas of retribution and deterrence are illustrated in the case of competitive market prices, which also separate efficient from inefficient cost imposition through retribution. Criminal entitlements are defined and distinguished from tortious entitlements, and the differences and connections between tort and criminal liability are explored. In seeking punishment that fits the crime in every case, criminal liability also seeks corrective justice, in this context called proportional punishment, rather than absolute deterrence, and through retributive liability pricing effectively encourages crimes whose value to the perpetrator exceeds the moral costs they impose.

Full textAbstract:
In this collection, one of the key commentators on the modern law of tort presents 12 of his most important articles and book chapters. These are accompanied by an introductory chapter in which the author comments on the impact and reception of the pieces that make up the collection, and by a provocative new essay in which he argues against strict product liability in the law of tort. A coherent and compelling exploration of topical issues in core areas of tort law, the collection is divided into three parts, dealing with negligence; nuisance and Rylands v Fletcher; and tort in general. The essays in this collection are a significant contribution to debates about the limits and scope of tortious liability in common law systems. Students, scholars and practitioners alike will find it an invaluable resource for understanding tort law in the early 21st century.

This chapter provides an overview of tort law. It explains that tort law is a branch of the law of obligations which imposes liability for the breach of norms of conduct based on the type of interest at stake and the degree of fault. It provides a brief history of tort law. It then moves on to discuss the rights and interests protected by tort. It also considers theoretical perspectives about the proper parameters of tort, particularly about the bases of tortious liability and about whether tort law should serve individual or social goals.

Full textAbstract:
Titles in the Core Text series take the reader straight to the heart of the subject, providing focused, concise, and reliable guides for students at all levels. This chapter discusses ‘lifting the veil’, a phrase that refers to situations where the judiciary or the legislature have decided that the separation of corporate personality from the members must not be maintained. In this case, the veil of incorporation is said to be lifted. ‘Lifting’ is also known as ‘peeping’, ‘penetrating’, ‘piercing’, or ‘parting’. The chapter presents statutory examples of veil lifting, many of which involve corporate group structures and others involve straightforward shareholder limitation of liability issues. It also considers cases of veil lifting by the courts as well as classical veil lifting during the periods of 1897 to 1966, 1966 to 1989, and 1989 to the present. Three cases are highlighted: Creasey v Breachwood Motors Ltd (1993), Ord v Belhaven Pubs Ltd (1998), and Trustor AB v Smallbone (No 2) (2001). The chapter also examines claims of tortious liability, the liability of a parent company for personal injury, and commercial tort. Finally, it looks at the costs and benefits of limited liability.
