Course of employment
Real World
In Rose v Plenty [1976], a milkman was banned from taking children on his float but did so anyway; the employer was still vicariously liable because he was doing his job (delivering milk) even if in an unauthorised way.
Exam Focus
Distinguish 'unauthorised mode of doing an authorised act' (employer liable) from a 'frolic of their own' (employer not liable) — examiners test this distinction directly.
