This chapter examines the law of vicarious liability in Australia since the decision of the High Court of Australia in Prince Alfred College v ADC. The Australian approach is then compared with the approach taken by the courts in England and Wales. Despite stated differences in approach, it is demonstrated that similar decisions are being reached on similar facts in the different jurisdictions.
