UJI 14-4422. Entity responsibility; outside the scope of employment.

If you find that an act of an agent was not committed within the scope of the agent’s employment, then you must consider whether the corporation later approved the act. An act is approved if, after it is performed, another agent of the corporation, with the authority to perform or authorize the act, and with the intent to benefit the corporation, either expressly approves or engages in conduct that is consistent with approving the act. A corporation is legally responsible for any act or omission approved by its agents.
