–Liability concerns:
§The actions of the
agent are deemed to be the actions of
the principal, and as a result, the principal
is vicariously responsible for the actions of
the agent
§Vicarious
liability can expose a registered charity to
significant liability, both civil and criminal
(e.g. anti-terrorism legislation)
§CRA warns
charities to consider how they structure
agency arrangements because the existence of
an agency relationship could expose them
to significant liability for the acts of their
agents
