PERSONS NOT PARTIES OR PRIVIES § 99. Where Liability of a Person is Based Solely upon the Act of Another Wash.App.2024. Cit. in disc. Former resident of a group home for foster children sued various corporate entities related to the home, alleging that defendants were vicariously liable for the negligence of the home's governing boards in supervising the home's employees and residents, which proximately caused resident to be subjected to abuse while living in the home. The trial court granted summary judgment for defendants. This court reversed in part and remanded, holding that the protections of the state's corporate dissolution survival statute, which barred liability against the home's now-dissolved governing boards, did not extend to defendants. The court reasoned that ajudgment that discharged an agent only protected a principal from derivative responsibility for the agent's actions when the judgment was on the merits and not based on a personal defense, and dismissal under the corporate dissolution survival statute was more accurately construed as a personal defense, similar to dismissal pursuant to a statute-of- limitations defense under Restatement of Judgments § 99, which did not result in a dismissal on the merits.
