Subject: Vicarious Liability in the SCC

Dear Colleagues,

The SCC has once again decided a case dealing with vicarious liability, in this case of a bishop and corporation sole for the sexual assault of a priest: see John Doe v. Bennett.

There is nothing groundbreaking in the case but it provides a good, short summary of the relevant SCC jurisprudence on the this issue.

Sincerely,

--
