9:15 a.m. – 10:15 a.m. Employer’s Vicarious Liability in Sexual Assault
Presented by: Brett Rideout, Genest Murray LLP
The general rule is that an employer is vicariously liable for the actions of its employee. However, specific considerations arise in the context of sexual assault allegations. This presentation will focus on the factors a court will consider when determining whether or not an employer will be held vicariously liable for a sexual assault committed by its employee. An explanation of the factors considered by the Supreme Court in the Basely decision as well as the recent Ontario Court of Appeal decision in Ivic v Lakovic will be discussed as well as specific issues relating to public entities.
