Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vicarious Liability: A Short History of the Liability of Employers, Principals, Partners, Associations and Trade-Union Members, With a Chapter on the Laws of Scotland and Foreign States
The present-day discussion of the question of the liability of Trade Unions is hampered by the constant and unwarranted implication that liability on the part of principals and employers for the wrongful acts of those who are employed by them is a sort of natural law.
The further attempt to incorporate loose associations of people who happen to be acting together, by treating them as liable for the wrongful acts of the most prominent of their number, turns on the same mistaken idea.
It has therefore been thought well to examine with some care the history and limits of the doctrine thus elevated to the pedestal of an axiom.
