The celebration party our company held for our staff and clients got out of control and our hired bouncer surpassed the terms of his contract. The bouncer at our party was a work-for-hire employee, making him work on behalf of Entertainment 720 Inc. His brute and excessive force used on one of the uninvited guests violated the agreement we had made with him, which had caused the crashers to sue our company. Under Respondeat Superior, an employer is liable for the torts committed by an employee acting within the scopes of their employer. We had hired this bouncer to keep any uninvited guests out and ensure safety for the party. Although we had instructed the bouncer not to use brute force, we will most likely be found liable for his actions. It would be considered a battery tort because there was no threat, just assault of the individual. Employment status does not matter in this case because they were working on behalf of our company, and even if the bouncer felt threatened he should not have beaten up the crasher. Next time we will hire part time policemen or well-known and trustworthy bouncers to keep our party safe and the attendees in order. Our company unfortunately rushed into an agreement to buy a warehouse from another company going out of business. Without knowing prior to the purchase, the previous company had been responsible for environmental spills at the warehouse, which we are now being held accountable for.
