Answer:

The Respondeat Superior doctrine is a legal doctrine that establishes a rule for the adjudication of responsibilities in the event of damages or breaches in a situation in which there is a relationship of dependency between a superior and a dependent. Thus, this doctrine establishes that the superior will be responsible for the actions of his dependent, that is, in the event of non-compliance or damage by the latter (provided that said damage or non-compliance occurs in the exercise of their functions) the responsibility will assumed by the superior.
