69ZZX: Liability of principal for acts of agents
"When someone you work for is in charge, they can get in trouble if you do something wrong"
If you do something wrong as an agent, your principal can be held responsible. You need to know that a principal is someone who is in charge of an agent. The principal is responsible for the agent's actions.
A law called the Health Act 1956 has a part about this, but the part that talks about it has been repealed. This means it is no longer a law, and it was repealed by the Water Services Act 2021. You can find more information about this on the Water Services Act 2021 webpage.
