Vicarious Liability

The principle of vicarious liability holds certain individuals or entities liable not only for their own negligent acts but also for those committed by persons under their control or authority. This imputed liability applies in specific relationships provided under Article 2180 of the Civil Code.

The Supreme Court Decides: The workers were entitled to the same rights and benefits as regular employees of the employer.

The Court ruled that the workers were entitled to the same rights and benefits as regular employees of the employer. The decision was grounded in Articles 106 to 109 of the Labor Code, which prohibit labor-only contracting when the contractor lacks substantial capital and the workers are engaged in the employer’s core activities. Such arrangements violate labor laws and compromise workers’ rights.
