Plaintiff. Defendant was a franchioe of Mini Maid Services

a belief as to whether. Mini Maid Services, Ino., in their public
advertisement may have made the representatiolls alleged.
.i'
~
~
"
, ,
4. Admitted. Defendant has made advertisements containing
similar representations.

6. Denied. Defendant's cleaning procedure requires that
its employees work as a team performing assigned tasks under the
supervision of a team leader.
7. Admitted.
B. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that
Defendant's employees cleaned Plaintiff's spare bedroom on
August 21, 1996. After reasonable investigation, Defendant is
wlthout knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to what, If anything, Plaintiff placed in the spare bedroom, when
the alleged items were placed there, and/or the value of any
items allegedly placed there. rroof of the same is demanded at
trial.
9. Denied. Oefendant. is without knowledge or information

sufficient to form a belief as to who took Plaintiff's ring, or
whether the ring was lost or misplaced rather than being taken.
Proof of the same is demanded at trial. A thorough investigation
by the East pennsboro Police, with which Defendant fully
cooperated, failed to uncover evidence sufficient to charge any
person with the theft of Plaintiff's ring. In the alternative,

12. Paragraphs 1 through 11 of Defendant's Answer are

v I NO. 97-6817
HARRISBURG HAID SERVICES, IIlC., I CIVIL ACTION - LAW
....,.................~,~.~!~,~,~~,~....................................................,.........,....1
ARBITRATION BRIEF
I. Fs,ots
Beginning in 1995, Plaintiff engaged Harrisburg Maid
Services, Inc. (hereinafter Mini Maid) to clean her home bi-
weekly. On August 21, 1996 a three person team employed by
Defendant cleaned Plaintiff's home. Several daya later, on
August 24, 1996, Plaintiff discovered a diamond ring missing.
She alleges that one of Mini Maid's employees took the diamond
ring.
Plaintiff seeks to recover the alleged value of the ring
from Mini Maid alleging counts of breach of contract, civil
conversion, negligence and negligent misrepresentation.
Plaintiff claims that Mini Maid is liable for the value of the
missing ring because: one of its employees took the ring; Mini
Maid hired employees who were not reliable and trustworthy; Mini
Maid failed to properly supervise its employees; and,
misrepresentations were made in promoting the employees as
reliable and trustworthy.
II . &:,CJUlllent
A. Assuming for the sake of argument that the evidence
establishes that a Mini Maid employee took Plaintiff's ring, the
law is clear that Plaintiff cannot recover from Mini Maid for tho
unauthorized action of its employee beyond the scope of their
employment. Where an employee acts in their own interest which
is antagonistic to that of their employer, or commits a crime for
their own benefit in a matter which is beyond the scope of their
employment, the employer who has received no benefit therefrom,
is not liable for the employee's tortious act. Cover v Cushinq
gapital CorDoration, 344 Pa. Super. 593, 497 A.2d 249, 252
(1985); lIeller v Patwil "ornes. Inc., _ Pa. Super. _, 713
A.2d 105, 107 (1998).
B. Neqliaent Hiring
The hiring of an employee who turns out to be dishonest is
not negligent where the employee is interviewed and their resume
reviewed prior to hiring. A background check is not required.
Heller v Patwil Homes, sUDra. at 108-109. To determine whether
the svidence establishes a negligent hire, a two-part inquiry
must be made. Initially it must be determined what was the
employee's conduct prior to the alleged tortious act, and was it
of such a nature to indicate a propensity for illegal activity.
Secondly, it must be determined whether the employer knew, or in
the exercise of ordinary care, should have known of t.he
2
prospsctive smployee's propensity for illegal activity. ~, at
lOB. Even knowledge of past criminal activity on the part of the
prospective employee will not create liability on the part of the
employer for a negligent hire if the employment is of a type
unrelated to the past crimJ.nal behavior. l.d..., at 109.
The evidence in this case establishes that Mini Maid was not
aware of a propensity for theft involving any of the three
employees who cleaned Plaintiff's house, nor was there anything
in the employee's past conduct which should have cau~ed Mini Maid
to know of a propensity for theft in the exercise of ordinary
care. As a result, Plaintiff cannot recover from Mini Maid for a
negligent hire.
C. Nealiaent Suoervision
An employer has a duty to supervise only with respect to the
employee's activities conducted within the scope of their
employment. There is no duty upon an employer to discover, at
its peril, criminal activity of an employee outside the scope of
employment. ~over v Cushina Caoital Coro., ~~, at 253-254.
A causs of action for negligent supervision can be established
only where there is a total abssnce of supervision after the
employer has actual notice, or in the exerc.ise of oI'dinary care
has constructive notice, of tortious activity on the part of tho
employee. Heller v patwil Homes, Inc., ~uora" at 109.
