Lobo v. Tamco
Annotate this CaseIn "Lobo v. Tamco" (182 Cal.App.4th 297 (2010)) (Lobo I), the Court of Appeal reversed a summary judgment in favor of the defendant, Tamco, and remanded the matter for further proceedings in the trial court. Trial was held solely on the issue of Tamco's vicarious liability for the negligence of its employee, Luis Del Rosario. The jury found in favor of Tamco. Plaintiffs, the survivors of a deputy sheriff killed in a vehicular collision with Del Rosario's car as he left Tamco's premises, contended that based on the legal principles the Court enunciated in Lobo I, the evidence adduced at trial compeled a finding that Del Rosario was acting within the scope of his employment when the accident occurred. They also argued that the trial court erred in refusing a requested jury instruction. The Court concluded that substantial evidence supported the verdict and that the court properly rejected the requested instruction.
