We conclude that JC Corporation clearly may be held vicariously liable on the basis of its instructions to Interstate, given through its agent, Julie Chen, to cut the ductwork flush to the ceiling. The court found that Julie Chen instructed Interstate to perform this work and that Barnes previously had cautioned her that such work would pose an unacceptable fire risk. On the basis of this finding, the court reasonably decided that JC Corporation, through its agent, supervised the work of the contractor. We agree and conclude that JC Corporation may be held vicariously liable on this ground.
