Don hires James to work in his liquor store. James is specially trained to ask for the identification of anyindividual who appears to be under the age of thirty and attempts to buy alcohol. One night, James sells alcohol toAshley and does not request identification because Ashley is attractive and James wants to ask her out on a date.Unfortunately, Ashley is underage and is participating in a sting operation with local law enforcement. Certainstatutes could subject Don to criminal prosecution for selling alcohol to an underage person like Ashley, eventhough Don did not personally participate in the sale. Because Don is James's employer, he may be vicariously liable for James' on the-job conduct in this instance.

Is Don vicariously liable?

What is the vicarious law about?
