§ 18.86.090. Vicarious liability
(1) A principal is not liable for an act, error, or omission by an agent or subagent of the principal arising out of an agency relationship:
(a) Unless the principal participated in or authorized the act, error, or omission; or
(b) Except to the extent that: (i) The principal benefited from the act, error, or omission; and (ii) the court determines that it is highly probable that the claimant would be unable to enforce a judgment against the agent or subagent.
(2) A licensee is not liable for an act, error, or omission of a subagent under this chapter, unless the licensee participated in or authorized the act, error or omission. This subsection does not limit the liability of a real estate broker for an act, error, or omission by an associate real estate broker or real estate salesperson licensed to that broker.
