Employer Liability for Employee Negligence in Property Damage

A plaintiff sought compensation for damages sustained when a vehicle, operated by an employee acting within the scope of their employment, collided with their property, leading to a dispute over whether the employer was strictly liable for the damages caused by the fault of their employee. The court quashed the lower court's decision, holding that the liability of the principal for the acts of the agent is established when the agent acts under the principal's authority and is engaged in activities related to that authority, thereby confirming the employer's liability for the damages caused by their employee's fault during service.
