AGENCY 2D
Generally
C.A.4, 2023. Cit. generally in ftn. Former employer sued former employees, alleging, inter alia, that
defendants breached their duty of loyalty by submitting a bid through their own company to win a
government subcontract that employer was also trying to obtain. The district court granted defendants'
motion for summary judgment. This court reversed in part and remanded, holding that plaintiff
presented sufficient evidence that defendants breached their duty of loyalty. Citing Restatement Second
of Agency § 393, the court explained that a reasonable jury could find that defendants learned of the
potential business opportunity through their employment with plaintiff and then made unsolicited offers
to the contractor to compete directly with plaintiff. The court noted that the Virginia Supreme Court

D.Alaska, 2022. Cit. generally in disc. Passenger who was injured while riding in a skiff that was used

captain, who was purportedly under the influence of alcohol, struck a sandbar and grounded the skiff.
This court granted in part owner's motion for summary judgment on passenger's claims that owner was

Restatement Second of Agency in 2006. Garcia v. Vitus Energy, LLC, 605 F.Supp.3d 1188, 1211.

parent of entities that manufactured certain flame-retardant components of capacitors in the dryers,
alleging, inter alia, that defendant was vicariously liable for the negligence of its subsidiaries in
manufacturing defective components that caused some of plaintiff's dryers to catch fire. This court
granted defendant's motion for summary judgment, holding that plaintiff failed to demonstrate that a
principal-agent relationship existed between defendant and its subsidiaries under agency principles
described in the Restatement Second of Agency. The court noted that Delaware agency law was
