Kenny Willis and his neighbors, Rick and Joyce Taylor, were goodfriends. Rick helped Kenny repair his truck and Kenny cut theTaylors’s yard because they did not own a lawnmower. One day, whilethe Taylors were out, Kenny began to cut their grass. Joycereturned home and saw what he was doing but made no effort to stophim. Kenny negligently ran the mower over a stretch of gravel. Apiece of the gravel shot through the air and struck Jackie Gill inthe eye. She filed suit against both Kenny and the Taylors. A juryfound the three defendants jointly and severally liable. TheTaylors appealed.

Could Joycehave asked Kenny to stop mowing her yard? Question: Was Kennyacting as an agent for the Taylors? Upload your ½-page, doublespaced, assignment by Sunday.
