The appellants were sexually abused by an employee of the respondent Boys' and Girls' Club.
The abuse primarily occurred at the employee's home outside of working hours.
The appellants sought damages against the Club, arguing it was vicariously liable for the employee's intentional torts.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, holding that the connection between the employer's enterprise and the employee's wrongful acts was not sufficiently strong to justify imposing no-fault vicarious liability.
The matter was remitted to trial to determine if the Club was directly liable in negligence.
