Matthew White was instructed to act on behalf of Cancer Research UK in Shelbourne v Cancer Research UK [2019] EWHC 842 (QB), the latest case on the scope of an employer’s vicarious liability for the acts of workers. The claimant’s attempt to extend the boundaries of vicarious liability beyond those in Bellman v Northampton Recruitment Limited [2018] EWCA Civ 2214 was unsuccessful. The employer was not held vicariously liable when one worker assaulted another on the dancefloor at a Christmas Party.
