Question 12 1 pts Whether the principal's liability is "respondeat superior" - vicarious liability - or "direct liability" is important to the plaintiff's case because None of the above. If "direct" then no need to continue the analysis of whether an employee was acting within the scope of employment, no need to analyze whether agent is employee or independent contractor, and it is easier for a plaintiff to go after the employer if s/he can prove direct liability. If "direct" then no need to continue the analysis of whether an employee was acting within the scope of employment, but plaintiff still must analyze whether agent is employee or independent contractor. If "direct" then the plaintiff must show that the employee was acting within the scope of employment, and it is harder for a plaintiff to prevail against the employer. 48. F Q Search ENG Sunny
