MUJI 2d CV2806
Deviation from scope of employment.
If [name of employee] deviates from carrying out [his] employment duties for personal reasons, whether [he] was still acting within the scope of employment depends on the extent of the deviation.
If it was a slight deviation to attend to business other than [name of employer]'s, then the acts are still within the scope of employment.
However, if [name of employee]'s deviation was so substantial that it had no relation to [his] employment or to [name of employer]'s business, then [name of employee]'s acts are not within the scope of employment.
