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 Compensation § 399.]
