(rehs-pond-dee-at superior) n. Latin for "let the master answer," a key doctrine
in the law of agency, which provides that a principal (employer) is responsible
for the actions of his/her/its agent (employee) in the "course of employment. "
Thus, an agent who signs an agreement to purchase goods for his employer in the
name of the employer can create a binding contract between the seller and the employer.
Another example if a delivery truck driver negligently hits a child in the street,
the company for which the driver works will be liable for the injuries.
