Plaintiffs A, B, C & D v Bird, Clancy and Little Pigeon Pty Ltd t/as Footprints Childcare Centre [2020] NSWSC 1379 is a recent Supreme Court of NSW decision which has advanced the law relating to vicarious liability. In the judgment, Her Honour discussed the principles of Prince Alfred College Incorporated v ADC [2016] HCA 37 and commented that a volunteering relationship can still give rise to a finding of vicarious liability, taking the position that a relationship of employment is not a precondition.
We have prepared a Case Note which outlines:
- the facts of the case;
- the various issues of the case;
- a recap of Prince Alfred College Incorporated v ADC [2016] HCA 37; and
