    17/40

    LAW OF PUBLIC OFFICER: LIABILITIES OF SUBORDINATES

    y As a generalrulepublic officers of the government, in theperformance of their public functions, are not liable to third persons,either for the misfeasance or positive wrong, or for the nonfeasance,negligence or omission of duty of their official subordinates.

    y This immunity rests upon public policy, the necessity of the public

    service and the perplexities and embarrassments of a contrary doctrine.It would be difficult to find competent men to fill important positionsin the government if they know that they would be made answerablefor all the torts and wrongs committed by their subordinates.

    y These subordinate officials are directly liable for their own defaults. If

    they are not made so because the law makes their superior liable forwhatever errors or mistakes they made in the performance of theirduties then these subordinates would not give the same care anddiligence to their work as the law would require them to. (Mechem, PublicOff. & Officers, Sec. 789; Robertson vs. Sichel, 127 U.S. 507; 32 L. ed. 213)
