VERBAL INSTRUCTIONS

There is something called vicarious liability which can be thrust on the bosses .... if the acts done by the Junior fall in the line of duty ... But if these acts were not done for the company/firm and were done in personal capacity then the Junior is responsible for such acts ...

the boss is responsible for the conduct of his junior. one must able to establish that Junior has got instructions from his superior. the Junior can prove the same by gathering some proof that his boss given instructions (witness, some communications, work report etc),  and that his boss made some arragement to facilitate the junior to conduct the job and also to prove that been well aware of the job done by the junior.

The Superior  has not taken any objection even though he was well aware of the conduct of the junior may establish that it was instructed and supported by the Superior and his conduct shows verbal and implicit approval to the job of the junior.
