DETOUR

detour,n.  Torts.  An  employee’s  minor  deviation  from  the  employer’s  business  for  personal

reasons. • Because a detour falls within the scope of employment, the employer is still vicariously

liable  for  the  employee’s  actions.  Cf.  FROLIC.  [Cases:  Master  and  Servant    302(6);  Workers’

Compensation      666.   C.J.S.   Employer–Employee   Relationship   §§   221–222;   Workmen’s
