Vicarious Liability and the Scope of Employment: Lessons from the Case of BM Security Limited v. Kibira & Another
March 28, 2025by Steve Kebenei
In the aftermath of the incident, the 1st respondent filed a suit against the 2nd respondent for negligence, alleging that the 2nd respondent was acting within the course and scope of his employment with BM Security Limited. However, the appellant, BM Security Limited, denied liability, contending that the 2nd respondent was not acting within the scope of his employment when he carried the 1st respondent as an unauthorized passenger, in direct contravention of the company's express prohibitions and the 2nd respondent's contractual obligations.
