A composite liability was imposed in a recent case on an organization for the acts of several servants, none of whom individually could be proved culpable. The defendant's buyer made a misrepresentation in reliance on information supplied to him by the accountant based on inadequate data.

Yet their firm was held responsible, not vicariously, but presumably for breach of its personal duty of care.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - composite%20liability
