Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vicarious liability means holding one person responsible for the actions of another person. In a partnership, each partner is jointly and severally liable for the actions of the partnership as a whole. This includes being vicariously liable for the torts (i.e. civil wrongs) committed by the other partners. Therefore, if one partner commits a tort, all partners can be held liable.
