Its not an authorised act?
Doesn't need to be. I didn't have time to look for a source.
From another thread. Is assault is an authorized act?
poly I’d be interested to hear why you think VL is weak here, if you are still talking to me.
Al sorry this thread dropped off my radar. I wasn't ignoring you! Presumably the employee had no specific job responsibility for the car park. Its not clear that the employee was given any instruction (by someone who held authority) to sort the "problem" or if it was on their own initiative. There needs to be a chain from the field of activities of the employee to the event. That may exist, or it may not. It might work, but its definitely not a shoe in.
How would she know whether he was insured or not? Do we even know that for sure now?
Cougar - its a strict liability offence - it doesn't matter if she knew or now. If she permits someone to drive who is not actually insured she commits the offence. There can be special reasons for mitigation which would not see the usual 6 pts added to her license if she can show a reasonably held genuine belief that he was insured. If she hasn't even asked then it would be very unlikely to succeed.
All irrelevant since the wife was to blame.
