Question:

Reginald Smith, an employee of UR Safe Ltd, a security company, broke into a branch of a bank that was a customer of UR Safe Ltd. Smith did so when he was not on shift with UR Safe Ltd, and by using keys he had stolen from his employer. Using these keys, Smith gained access to the ATM room in the bank, but could not figure out how to open the ATM combination lock. He was close to giving up when he noticed that the bank kept an ATM instruction manual on a shelf right beside the ATM in the ATM room. Smith read the manual and on that basis was able to open the safe. Is UR Safe Ltd vicariously liable for Smith’s tortious conduct?
