The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that the 2nd defendant's driving to fetch food was an unauthorised personal act outside the scope of his employment and that there was not the requisite close connection between his employment duties and the tort; the trial judge correctly applied the established law including the approach endorsed in Lister v Hesley Hall.
