Subject: Transfer of employment and double vicarious liability

See the recent judgment of the English Court of Appeal in Hawley v. Luminar Leisure in which dual vicarious liability (the outcome in Viasystems) was rejected in favour of the imposition of vicarious liability solely upon the owner of a nightclub, the temporary employer of a nightclub bouncer who assaulted the claimant.
