can any one analyse the nature of the behaviour on the part of employees(working under a contract of services) or independent contractors(working under a contract for services)which will make employers liable for their negligent acts.

Vicarious liability is a legal concept, which refers to one party being held liable for the injury or damage sustained by another party, despite the fact that they had no active involvement in the incident. People or entities typically charged with vicarious liability include supervisors or companies since they bear responsibility for the actions of their employees.

This question is not clear but from what I gather, the clean hands clause would apply. If an employee, or contract employee gets into trouble for *unknowingly* following the rules of the employer, the labor board can help the employees. You can go into court and say "this person did that" knowing that you did wrong also. So you are responsible for negligence as well as your employer if you knowingly do wrong.

It doesn't seem fair on employers these days. Everyone seems ready to sue at the drop of a hat if they smell the scent of money, the me society.
