NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an action for personal injuries.

FACTS: Clay Fruit (D) was a life insurance salesman for the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Equitable sponsored a convention and D drove his own car but he was reimbursed for his expenses. Fruit decided to drive to the Waterfront Bar and Restaurant to mingle with business associates after all business related activities and scheduled events were long over but found none. On his return to the hotel, D negligently skidded across the highway and struck a disabled car, and crushed Schreiner's (P) legs. The jury found that D had been acting in the scope of his employment and held Equitable liable for the injuries to D. Equitable appealed.
