Vicarious liability arises when one party (often an employer or principal) is held legally responsible for the actions of another party (such as an employee or agent), particularly when the controlling party has authority over the actions being performed. This principle is central to agency law and is especially relevant in security services and corporate liability cases.
Compliance liability (A), Active liability (C), and Passive liability (D) are not formal legal terms in this context.
