In determining the propriety of the trial court’s instructions to the jury, the Kansallis Finance Ltd. court looked to 1 Restatement (Second), Agency *694§ 228 (1) (1958), which provides: “(1) Conduct of a servant is within the scope of employment if, but only if: (a) it is of the kind he is employed to perform; (b) it occurs substantially within the authorized time and space limits . . . (c) it is actuated, at least in part, by a purpose to serve the master, and (d) if force is intentionally used by the servant against another, the use of force was not unexpectable by the master.” Subsection (2) further provides: “Conduct of a servant is not within the scope of employment if it is different in kind from that authorized, far beyond the authorized time or space limits, or too little actuated by a purpose to serve the master.”
