Honeywill and Stein Ltd v Larkin Brothers Ltd
''Honeywill and Stein Ltd v Larkin Brothers Ltd'' () 1 KB 191 is an English tort law case, establishing that employers may be vicariously liable for damage done by their independent contractors, where they carry out 'extra-hazardous' activities.〔() 1 KB 191, p. 200〕 Generally, employers are only vicariously liable for the torts of their employees, and not for those of independent contractors.〔, p. 695〕 However, a non-delegable duty may be imposed on an employer where they contract for inherently dangerous activities to be undertaken.
==Facts==
Honeywill and Stein Ltd, after conducting acoustic work in a cinema owned by Denman Picture Houses, requested permission to have photographs taken of the interior of the cinema.〔() 1 KB 191, p. 195〕 On the attendance of Larkin Brothers Ltd to take photographs, magnesium powder was ignited in order to create a flash light, to better illuminate the cinema interior. It was argued that such practice was common in photographing the insides of buildings, despite creating intense heat and being hazardous if ignited near fabrics.〔 The photographers were found guilty of negligence in igniting the flash just four foot from a cinema curtain, setting fire to it and causing damage of £261.4s.3d.〔 However, Honeywill and Stein Ltd, under threat of litigation from the cinema company chose to pay this balance in full. The action was therefore for the recovery of this sum, under the pretense that Honeywill and Stein Ltd could not be responsible for the tort of an independent contractor.〔() 1 KB 191, p. 196〕
