in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

When applying this chapter, if an agent or employee does something wrong while working within their job, the law treats that as the employer's own act too. The agent or employee is still responsible as well.

This section sets a rule for assigning legal responsibility under this chapter. When construing and enforcing this chapter's provisions, if any agent, officer, or other person acting for, or employed by, another person does something wrong — an act, omission, or failure — while acting within the scope of their employment or office, the law treats that wrongdoing as also being the act, omission, or failure of the person who employed them. The agent, officer, or employee remains responsible too.
