Having A NatteRR - Series 2: Episode 9

You'll be pleased to know that Robinson Ralph has found something to talk about which is not related to COVID-19. This week, Simon, David and Samuel discuss the Supreme Court's recent decision in WM Morrison Supermarkets plc (Appellant) v Various Claimants (Respondents). 

In this case, Morrisons won its appeal on vicarious liability as the Supreme Court ruled that the online disclosure of payroll data was not an act that an employee ('S') was authorised to do. They also ruled that a temporal or causal connection alone does not satisfy the test and that it was highly material whether S was acting on his employer’s business or for purely personal reasons.
