𝐍𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 The case arose from a hit and run accident that seriously injured the plaintiff and killed her husband. The plaintiff sought to impose liability against the defendant employer (a hotel), asserting that the employee was acting within the course and scope of his employment. The question presented was whether the trial court erred in concluding as a matter of law that the employee driver was not acting in the scope of his employment when he hit the plaintiff and her husband in the crosswalk. On the day of the incident, the defendant driver was employed as a banquet. He worked approximately 50 hours per week as a salaried employee and did not have set hours or punch a time clock. His duties included setting up and overseeing banquet events, and his responsibility for an event continued until everything was cleaned up. He oversaw every part of the banquet from start to finish.
