The 1st Defendant is not liable: the 2nd Defendant's use was an unauthorized personal frolic outside the scope of employment so no vicarious liability; no actionable duty was established to prevent unauthorized uninsured use absent special circumstances or an assumption of responsibility; prior legislative remarks and M.I.B. agreements do not create a legal duty on Government to cover economic loss from servants' private acts.
