520 _aConsiders "Dubai Aluminium Co Ltd v Salaam" ([2002] UKHL 48; [2002] 3 WLR 1913), which highlighted a situation where an innocent employer was held to be vicariously liable to third parties for the dishonest acts of its employees, where those acts were carried out in the ordinary course of business, but not strictly confined to acts committed with employers' authority. Suggests contractors and other property professionals can protect themselves by ensuring they appoint reliable organisations, establish a firm legal framework for monitoring and ensure insurance policies provide appropriate cover.
