§ 51-1-12 - Liability for ratifying tort

GA Code § 51-1-12 (2014) What's This?

By ratification of a tort committed for his own benefit, the ratifier becomes as liable as if he had commanded that it be committed. A person ratifying a tort does not become liable, however, if the act was done for the benefit of a third person.
