Exercise 6

Lewis, employed by Roselle Toyota, was driving a company car on a purely personal errand when he collided with car owned by Taylor. The injured occupants of the Taylor car sued both Lewis and Roselle, claiming negligence. Roseville claimed it was not liable for the injuries because Lewis was not acting within the scope of his employment. Is Roseville correct? (Taylor v. Roseville Toyota Inc., 138 Cal. App. 4th 994)
