The court held Alliance liable to indemnify Ng because (1) Pang's instruction to drive the car to the Car Park and to contact Lui if necessary was given in the course of employment and within Alliance's interest; (2) the subsequent detour and manner of driving were within the reasonable scope of the authority and not manifestly tortious or constituting a default disentitling Ng to indemnity; and (3) Pang acted in his capacity as director/representative of Alliance so Alliance, not Pang personally, owed the indemnity obligation.
