1.Breighley Touring Ltd. is a small travel and tours company owned by Terry Breigh and Tobin Equipment Ltd. Terry Breigh is the only officer of Breighley and he is the sole shareholder of Tobin Equipment Ltd. Breigh used a Ford Escape vehicle purchased by and registered to Breighley for the personal use of his family.

At the time of the accident, Tim had his father's permission to drive the vehicle even though he had a poor driving record and had only had his driver's licence reinstated.

She brought an action against Breighley as registered owner of the vehicle, Tim as driver of the vehicle, and Terry Breigh.

  1. On what basis could Terry be potentially liable for Marilyn's injuries?
  2. What argument(s) could be presented on behalf of Marilyn?
