This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Clay Fruit (D) was a life insurance salesman for the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Equitable sponsored a convention and D drove his own car, but he was reimbursed for his expenses. Fruit decided to drive to the Waterfront Bar and Restaurant to mingle with business associates after all business-related activities, and scheduled events were long over but found none. On his return to the hotel, D negligently skidded across the highway and struck a disabled car, and crushed Schreiner's (P) legs. The jury found that D had been acting in the scope of his employment and held Equitable liable for the injuries to D. Equitable appealed.
