. Answer the questions following the fact patterns using the IRAC format:
Karen is a chiropractor. She has her own office but also works at Clinic. Clinic provides her a schedule for the week. However, she determines the hours she will work each day. Clinic pays her a pre-determined monthly salary for the patients she treats while at Clinic. If Clinic’s patients need additional treatment It refers them to Karen. Karen bills these referrals separately. When treating patients at Clinic she uses Clinic’s equipment. She sometimes borrows chiropractic “tools” from Clinic when Clinic’s referrals need specialized treatment for which Karen does not have the appropriate equipment. For billing purposes related to referrals she uses the same billing service as Clinic.
A] Karen has always been fond of Giselle, a referral from Clinic. One day when treating Giselle at her office she fondles her without her permission. Giselle sues Clinic for Karen’s transgression alleging that Karen civilly battered her. She further argues that because she was referred by Clinic to Karen, Karen was acting as Clinic’s employee. Clinic argues in response that Giselle may only sue Karen because Karen is an independent contractor. Is Clinic correct? Explain.
