A Principal’s Responsibility for the Actions of Their Agent
Karen is shopping at Big Mart. She
has with her an umbrella which is the same brand Big Mart carries. When a Big
Mart employee, Steve, sees her leave with the umbrella without going through
the checkout lane, he asks her to come back into the store. Steve says that he
thinks Karen is shoplifting the umbrella. Karen tells him that she has had the
umbrella for years and shows him marks of wear and tear. Steve apologizes and
tells Karen she is free to go. Can Karen successfully sue for false
imprisonment or defamation? From what you have learned about the relationship
between a principal and an agent, analyze whether Steve or Big Mart could be
liable because of Steve’s actions.
