      Solution

      The concept of Vicarious liability is based on the Latin Maxim of ‘Qui facet per alium facit per se’ that means ‘He who acts through another, acts through himself’. Under the concept of vicarious liability, the liability arises when the employer authorizes the employee to do certain acts which are to be done during the course of employment and the employee causes loss to a third party by his actions. This legal theory arises when an injured party claims that another party had the right, ability or duty to control another individual.
