Generally

Cal.App.2022.  Cit. generally in sup. Consumers who purchased a truck that turned out to be a lemon
filed claims against manufacturer under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and for fraud. After
manufacturer conceded liability under the Act and a jury found for consumers on all claims, the trial
court awarded consumers damages. Affirming, this court held, among other things, that the trial court
did not abuse its discretion by admitting as evidence certain documents exchanged between
manufacturer's corporate agents under the authorized-admissions exception to hearsay. The court
rejected manufacturer's argument that the exception did not apply under Restatement Second of Agency
§ 287, noting that California had not adopted § 287, which had been omitted from the Restatement Third
of Agency. Bowser v. Ford Motor Company,  293 Cal.Rptr.3d 772, 789.

§ 1.01 Agency Defined

C.A.2, 2022. Com. (c) cit. and quot. in sup., quot. in diss. op.; com. (f) quot. in case quot. in diss. op.
Nonresident foreign national, who was employed by foreign subsidiary of parent company, appealed,
among  other things, a conviction for violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, alleging that he
could not be held criminally liable for corruptly using interstate commerce, pursuant to an alleged
scheme by parent company's domestic subsidiary to bribe foreign officials. This court affirmed on other
grounds, holding that defendant was not the agent of domestic subsidiary such that he could be held
liable for violation of the Act. Citing Restatement Third of Agency § 1.01, the court explained that
domestic subsidiary did not have the power to control defendant's work, because defendant, by being a
parallel subsidiary of parent company, could not be terminated by domestic subsidiary. The dissent
argued that the majority overly focused on domestic subsidiary's ability to terminate defendant's
employment,  because, under § 1.01, the question of whether defendant was domestic subsidiary's agent
turned on whether domestic subsidiary had the power to control defendant's work. United States v.
Hoskins, 44 F.4th 140, 150, 151, 159-161.

C.A.7, 2022. Cit. in sup. After being indicted for distributing controlled substances, criminal defendant
filed a motion to dismiss, alleging that he received federal immunity through a cooperation agreement he
