Answer:

The doctrine of respondent superior

Explanation:

The doctrine of respondent superior is a legal doctrine that is adopted when there is an unjustified behaviour which leads to damages, injury or any other legal liability.

This principle holds an employer legally responsible for any wrong action by their employee especially if such actions were done while trying to carry out their work. For example if an employee gets someone injured in the course of their job operation, the employer will be held accountable for such although it was caused or done by their employee. This doctrine is also known as Master-Servant Rule.

Answer: THE DOCTRINE OF RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR.

The doctrine of respondeat superior is a legal doctrine used that makes an employer, manager, supervisor, or other individual superior to an employee responsible or may be legally liable for the acts of that employee.

This is basically saying that any wrong doing caused by an employee working under the jurisdiction of the employer makes the employer legally liable and responsible for the employee's wrong doings.

For example, if a delivery agent driving company vehicle, causes an accident, the person involved in the accident can choose to bring into lawsuit the company instead of the delivery agent

A statute is a law, passed by the legislature. A regulation is an interpretation of that law, written by a govt agency. Case law is a ruling by a court on a particualar law. An example is a tax bill.

Naturally, the law itself, literally speaking, cannot protect people, but, laws are made up as we go along (evolve socially) in order to set guidelines or "rules" for each of us to live by; thereby in a sense of the word, protecting us all from each other. Laws are carefully thought out and engineered as need arises to provide, basically, safety and financial security. Once in place, they are enforced by various levels of government. This system works only if everyone adheres to the rules, and, for the most part, we do; however there are those who either forget or intentionally ignore the law for their own selfish gains. A simple example is the person who is speeding in their car. If, for any given situation, there is a "law" or "rule", stop and fully consider how NOT obeying the rule might negatively impact or hurt another person. Then reverse the situation and consider that YOU might be that person.

Laws protect not only peoples safety, but their right as well. If laws were to not exist the world would be in total meltdown (just like the purge all the time).
