Sani Jacobs has a potential legal remedy against Sara-Lee’s employer, under the principle of
vicarious liability. Vicarious liability is a legal doctrine that holds employers liable for the wrongful
acts committed by their employees during the course and scope of employment. The key issue
here is whether Sara-Lee’s actions fall within the scope of her employment and whether her
employer can be held liable for the damages.
Vicarious Liability
Vicarious liability applies when an employee causes harm or injury to a third party while performing
their job duties, even if the employee's actions are negligent. In this case, Sara-Lee was on her
way to perform audit work at the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) when the accident
occurred. The critical question is whether she was acting in the course and scope of her
employment at the time of the accident.
