Generally
E.D.Va.2020. Cit. generally in sup. Employees of contractor that was hired to modify and repair a 27-
foot aluminum hull vessel for city filed claims for negligence and gross negligence against city and city
police officer, alleging that they were injured during a sea trial of the completed vessel when officer
executed a high-speed turn that caused it to capsize. This court granted summary judgment for officer,
finding that he was entitled to qualified immunity under federal law for maritime torts committed while
performing discretionary functions within the scope of his employment, but denied city's motion for
summary judgment, holding that it could not avoid vicarious liability where its agent was entitled to
qualified immunity. The court relied in part on the Restatement of Agency in explaining that a principal
could not avail itself of its agent's defense where, as here, the agent had an immunity from civil liability
dependent on his or her particular status. Glover v. Hryniewich, 438 F.Supp.3d 625, 638.
CHAPTER 4. RATIFICATION
TOPIC 1. DEFINITIONS
§ 82. Ratification
D.Hawaii, 2020. Quot. in case quot. in sup. Employee of state insurance agency sued, among others,
state insurance commissioner and other co-workers in their individual and official capacities, alleging
that defendants deliberately discriminated against him due to his race and age by conducting
unnecessary background checks, investigating his prior business, and banning him from performing
certain work. This court granted summary judgment for defendants, holding, among other things, that
plaintiff failed to state a claim for ratification under Restatement of Agency § 82. The court pointed out
that plaintiff did not make clear what specific acts were ratified by which specific defendants, and noted
that, because all of plaintiff's claims relating to the acts that were supposedly ratified had been
dismissed, he failed to allege a predicate wrongful act. Beckmann v. Ito, 430 F.Supp.3d 655, 685.
CHAPTER 6. LIABILITY OF PRINCIPAL TO THIRD PERSONS: CONTRACTS AND
CONVEYANCES
TOPIC 2. DISCLOSED OR PARTIALLY DISCLOSED PRINCIPAL
TITLE A. CREATION OF LIABILITY BY AUTHORIZED ACTS
§ 149. Written Contracts Not Containing Principal's Name
Ohio App.2020. Cit. in sup. Landowners sued energy companies, alleging that defendants breached
lease agreements that law firm signed on their behalf, because defendants failed to tender signing
