Answer:

The doctrine of Respondeat Superior

FALSE

Explanation:

The doctrine of "Respondeat Superior" is a doctrine in an Agency relationship that makes the principal answerable or liable for the wrongful actions of the agent within the scope of his/her authority.  For the principal to indemnify or reimburse the agent for out of pocket expenses, we talk about reimbursement of indemnity, which is usually part of the Agent's consideration in an agency relationship.

According to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, Respondeat Superior

is "a doctrine in tort law that makes a master liable for the wrong of a servant specifically or the doctrine making an employer or principal liable for the wrong of an employee or agent if it was committed within the scope of employment or agency."
