Question:
Vijay runs a popular local restaurant and occasionally hires Dilpreet as a dancer to entertain patrons. One evening a regular customer, Winston, is celebrating his 85th birthday with his family. Winston had been drinking some alcohol but later claims he was definitely not drunk when Dilpreet enticed him to dance with her. As the dance got faster Winston made every effort to keep up with her but, unfortunately, he had a fall breaking his leg. This has never happened at Vijay’s restaurant before and it has never happened to Dilpreet either. Winston has no previous history of leg injury. Explain how the rules of vicarious liability may be applied to this case.
You must use relevant cases to support your answer.
