Description

Vicarious liability is a complicated area of personal injury practice which can have far reaching consequences for employee and employer alike; under common law, if an employee caries out tortious acts in the course of their employment, then their employer is vicariously liable for these actions.

Delivered by solicitor and lecturer Nicky Carter, this two-part session will explore key case law developments in respect of vicarious liability, making it invaluable for those new to this area of law and more experienced practitioners seeking a refresher.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
