Dear List Members,

This morning the United Kingdom Supreme Court gave judgment in the CCWS case, another vicarious liability abuse case, this time concerning vicarious liability in the context of an unincorporated association, The Institute of Brothers of the Christian Schools.  The case looks at vicarious liability in the context of unincorporated associations, and examines (rather briefly) the role of risk at the second stage of establishing vicarious liability.
