California Court of Appeal

HILLENBRAND, INC. v. INS. CO. OF N. AM., C030059

A ruling reconsidered and rectified sheds no light on the legal viability of a claim in a malicious prosecution action. Civil Code section 2351 does not allow a corporation to avoid liability as an agent by delegating its obligations to its own employees.
