Lister V Romford Ice And Cold Storage Co Ltd
is an important English tort law, contract law and labour law, which concerns vicarious liability and an ostensible duty of an employee to compensate the employer for torts he commits in the course of employment. Facts Martin Lister and his father Martin Lister were working for the Cold Storage company, driving a waste disposal lorry. They went to a slaughterhouse on Old Church Road, Romford.

McNair J awarded the father two thirds of the compensation to reflect the father’s contributory negligence.

Judgment Court of Appeal The majority of the Court of Appeal ( 9562 QB 180), Birkett LJ and Romer LJ, held that the insurance company could seek contribution from the son, because the son had a contract ...

Viscount Simonds
A viscount ( , for male) or viscountess (, for female) is a title used in certain European countries for a noble of varying status.

The Koursk
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with pronouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers.
