Monty signalled to a van driver of Python Ltd to stop and asked him to take him to the Grotty Towers Hotel. The hotel was some five miles away from the route which the driver would usually take in the course of his duties, but he nevertheless agreed to give Monty a lift to the hotel. When the driver had deviated a quarter mile from his authorised route, he carelessly collided with another vehicle and Monty was injured. As company secretary of Python Ltd, you have received a letter from a firm of solicitors representing Monty threatening legal action against Python Ltd. Your managing director asks you to draft a memorandum for him on the legal aspects of the case. Draft the memorandum.
