Background
The Intermediate Court of Appeals had entered an opinion in this case on August 18, 2026.
On August 19, 2026, the court issued an amended order of correction addressing two errors in that opinion. The order did not describe the underlying dispute or alter the opinion’s disposition.
The Court’s Holding
The court ordered two textual corrections to its August 18 opinion. First, it replaced “principle” with “principal” in a discussion of when a principal is “ipso facto liable” for an agent’s actions.
Second, the court revised a citation to Ricapor-Hall v. Philip Morris USA Inc. so that the blank page numbers appeared as underscores. The clerk was directed to notify publishing agencies of the changes.
Key Takeaways
- This amended order corrects wording and citation formatting in a previously issued opinion.
- The order does not state or modify the underlying merits holding.
- The appellate clerk must notify publishing agencies of the corrections.
Why It Matters
The order ensures that the published opinion uses the correct agency-law term and accurately formats a cited decision. It is a clerical correction order, not a new merits ruling.
