INTRODUCTION
The law of Tort has been used for many centuries to protect
rights of people. It gives compensation to the plaintiff by the
defendant one if he is the wrongdoer or violates plaintiff’s
rights. This research project will basically include the tort i.e.
Vicarious liability. It means liability which is incurred for or
instead of another. According to jurist Salmond, in general, the
person is responsible only for his own act, but, there are
exceptional cases, in which the law imposes on him, vicarious
responsibility for the acts of others, however blameless himself.
SYNOPSIS
The doctrine of vicarious liability generally operates within
the law of torts. It has become well established in English law
and historically has been called ‘Master-Servant liability’.
