This is regarding a tripartite agreement between a Principal, Agent and Third party.
The Principal is only liable for the tort (and/or failure) of the Agent if the Principal is undisclosed.
The Principal is NOT liable if he had been disclosed prior to the agreement.
However, can the Third Party sue a prior disclosed Principal on the grounds that he was negligent in choosing the Agent in the first place?
Also, can the prior disclosed Principal be sued because he had significant control over the Agent?
Thanks a lot and I would greatly appreciate any case law.
