Comment on If your agent commits a crime, who is responsible?parent

If I’m walking your dog and it bites someone, am I responsible or you? Does the manner in which I was controlling them matter?

This is why we have a court system.

But this is counter to the claim it's (simple) settled case law

It’s quite settled and there is precedent that would answer who is responsible and to what amount. There’s not a situation where only the dog is responsible.
