N.C.P.I.—Motor Vehicle 103.60
AGENCY-USE OF AGENT'S OWN VEHICLE.
A principal is liable for his agent's negligence in the operation of
the agent's own motor vehicle if it was being used in the course and
scope of the agent's authority or employment and the principal knew, or
should have known, that the agent was so using it. This is true even
though the principal had no right of control over the agent's vehicle, and
even though the principal was not responsible for its condition, upkeep or
operation.1
