The guard did all this AS A REPRESENTITIVE OF HECHT’S. He was employed by them at the time he perjured himself. He did it in Hecht’s name, so to speak. Hecht’s is liable.
I just disagree. Hecht’s has zero liability here because the shoplifting issue had already been closed.
Hecht wasn’t paying attention. They should have walked in the door and said to drop it. They knew what was occurring. They pursued the charge.
