When a company employee causes trouble in the course of their duties, the company to which they belong may be held liable for damages under the principle of employer’s liability. For instance, in the case of a traffic accident involving a professional driver, even if the driver’s negligence was the direct cause, the driver’s work schedule or poor working conditions could have contributed to the accident. In such cases, it is only natural that the company employing the driver can be held accountable under the principle of employer’s liability, in addition to the driver themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even in cases of defamation, while the individual repeatedly engaging in problematic behavior should certainly be held accountable, if they are a company employee, the company that allowed such behavior may also bear responsibility. In such cases, it is possible to hold the company to which the individual belongs accountable under the principle of employer’s liability. In other words, if you are a victim of defamation on the internet and manage to identify the perpetrator through methods such as tracing the post, and the perpetrator turns out to be a salaried worker at a company, it is possible to claim damages not only from the individual perpetrator but also from their employer under the principle of employer’s liability.
