(i) Jointly liable: Joint liability in tort refers to a situation in which two or more parties are held responsible for the same harm or injury. In such cases, all of the parties may be sued and held responsible for the full amount of damages.
(ii) Vicarious liability: Vicarious liability refers to a situation in which one party is held responsible for the actions or omissions of another party. This can occur when an employer is held liable for the actions of an employee, or when a parent is held liable for the actions of a child. Vicarious liability can arise even if the party being held liable did not directly cause the harm or injury, as long as there is a close relationship between the parties and the harm arose out of that relationship.
