frolic of his own
An action by an employee that is performed outside the scope of his employment, with the consequence that the employer is freed from any vicarious liability for the act in question. The term was first used in Joel v Morison (1834) 6 C & P 501, 503; 172 All ER 1338. A recent example of such a “frolic”, in this case concerning data protection, was examined by the Supreme Court in WM Morrison Plc v Various Claimants [2020] UKSC 12. |
