i) Every individual is responsible for his own tort. However, in the employee/worker relationship, only the worker can make their employer vicariously liable for their torts. The privilege accrues to the worker in the course of lawful duty. The privilege does not avail a worker who is on the frolic of his own.

In the present case, the code of ethics bars a worker from taking alcoholic beverages during working hours. Despite the provision of assorted drinks that included alcoholic beverages, the drink-up privilege does not erode the code of ethics. The attribution of the accident to excess drink indicates his violation of the code of conduct. He cannot invoke the principle of vicarious liability to his advantage. Gyabaa drank in excess on the frolic of his own.

The Management of Manopor Company LTD, therefore, bears no liability for Gyabaa’s accident and injury to Ahorlu. (5 marks)

ii) The Supreme Court is the apex court of Ghana. Under article 129 of the 1992 Constitution, the Supreme Court is the final court of appeal and shall have such appellate and other jurisdiction as may be conferred on it by the constitution or by any other law. While the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction, and exclusive jurisdiction in other matters, and judicial review, in the current case, Ahorlu cannot sue in this Supreme Court. (5 marks)
