¶73 Respondeat superior is a doctrine of the law of agency by which the consequences of one person’s actions may be attributed to another person. Saucier v. McDonald’s Restaurants of Montana, Inc., 2008 MT 63, ¶ 64, 342 Mont. 29, ¶ 64, 179 P.3d 481, ¶ 64. Denke points out, and the City does not dispute, that an employer may be liable, on the basis of respondeat superior, for an illegal discriminatory act by its employee. See Vainio v. Brookshire, 258 Mont. 273, 278-79, 852 P.2d 596, 600 (1993).
