On the evidence (security video, witness testimony and the 2nd Defendant's inconsistent statements) the 2nd Defendant acted outside the scope of his employment — he had no authority to drive off the hired courtesy car for the trip he undertook; therefore the employer (Ritz-Carlton) is not vicariously liable and liability rests with Lo Sin Tak, with insurers' joinder and costs consequences as ordered.
