The result in Smith v. Sears, Roebuck & Co. was that under the facts presented, the employer would not be held liable under the Fair Credit Reporting Act for its employee's actions in obtaining a consumer credit report for other than permissible purposes. This was because the court found that the employee acted outside the scope of their employment, and the employer had taken reasonable measures to prevent such conduct. The court did not impose strict liability or hold that an employer could never be held liable for such an offense.
