The parties’ contract, however, contained such a non-delegable duty, namely, the duty of JC Corporation to make repairs to the kitchen for the benefit of the plaintiff. In accordance with § 419 of the Restatement (Second) of Torts, once JC Corporation agreed to make these repairs, namely, removing the ventilation hood and disarming the fire suppression system, JC Corporation could delegate performance of the repairs, but not the ultimate legal responsibility for any harm caused by its independent contractor. See also Machado v. Hartford, supra, 292 Conn. 371-72. Therefore, JC Corporation had a nondelegable duty to the plaintiff arising under its lease to perform repairs, and the court properly concluded that JC Corporation was vicariously ha-ble for any harm caused by Interstate’s gross negligence. *752II RECKLESSNESS
