Practice question
A complaint alleges an employee’s actionable shooting and the agency’s deficient supervision, seeking quasi-delict relief. Agency calls it exclusively civil liability from crime in its brief. Which is sound?
- A brief automatically amends all allegations.
- A shooting can never support a quasi-delict action.
- The victim must accept the agency’s preferred theory.
- Examine the pleaded allegations and prayer; the agency’s later label does not control.
- Intent alone grants the agency immunity.
