Attribution of Conduct

Attribution of conduct is a legal principle that holds a person responsible for actions taken by others if those actions are considered to be connected to that person. This can happen if the person directly commits the act, encourages or directs it, or has control over someone else's actions. The idea is to determine when a person's behavior can be legally linked to their role or influence, so they can be held accountable. It's often used in situations like employer liability, partnerships, or cases where multiple parties are involved in a wrongful act.
