Vaughn v. Jernigan

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• executive of corporate-employer is immune from suit for allegedly negligent performance of acts undertaken in his representative capacity
• suit was barred against the landlord, who was also employer’s president, because any knowledge of the defective condition came to him through his involvement in the employer corporation and not as a landlord
• employee of corporate employer could not sue corporation’s officer where the employee had received workers’ compensation award from the corporation, since the officer was acting as the corporation’s “alter ego” in a representative capacity
