THE NEW NORMAL: A VICARIOUS LIABILITY MINEFIELD

ABOUT THE SESSION

In April 2020 the Supreme Court delivered its judgment in Various Claimants v Morrisons Supermarkets.  

The Supreme Court applied certain tests in that case which, when applied to the current hybrid work situation, higher use of social media by employees and increased operational risks around data protection, create a legal minefield. 

This webinar will walk you through this potential legal minefield and provide risk management solutions to ensure employees and employers do not become the subject of vicarious liability claims.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

Identify key principles of vicarious liability as they apply to the hybrid workplace.

Understand how liability may arise in light of changing working practices.

Implement a strategy to mitigate the risks of vicarious liability arising.

Session Length:  1 hour
