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.
Guided Response: Review your peer’s
responses. For at least two of your classmates, determine if your analysis of
the facts is the same. Do you agree with their assessment or do you see the
issue differently? Explain. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts
by Day 7.
