A principal is generally only liable for the intentional torts of agents and employees if they were committed within the scope of their employment or authorized by the principal. If the tort was committed outside the scope of the principal's business, the principal typically would not be held liable. However, there may be exceptions to this general rule depending on the specific circumstances of the case.
