Foreign domestic workers causing damage in public places: Is the employer responsible?
There was news about a child accompanied by family members accidentally knocked over a valuable figure worth tens of thousands of dollars while browsing a toy store. The figure immediately fell and was damaged. As a result, the store staff claimed that the child had kicked it and demanded compensation. The parents promptly accepted responsibility and provided compensation. However, later it was discovered through online videos that the facts were not as stated by the staff, leading to a controversy. If we change the scenario to a foreign domestic worker employed by you instead of the child, as the employer, would you be responsible for the actions of the domestic worker?
