secondary liability
Explanation:
Subsidiarity is Eurospeak and refers rather to the subsidiary, regional authority of a nation state to carry out a prime responsibility imposed by the EU, like cleaning up beaches.

This employment case suggests someone (parte autora - the employee?) is the main principal of an offence or tort and the secondary liability falls on someone else (the employer?).

Example sentence(s):
  • All of the types can be broken down into whether the liability is primary or secondary. ... particularly if the act that caused the harm was done as part of employment.

  -> Thanks. But you shouldn't have. The more suggestions, the better. And the asker, in the discussion entries, foreshadows my answer anyway.

agree  Christopher & Rozilene Frye: http://www.jusbrasil.com.br/jurisprudencia/20908752/recurso-... This page has the exact same language as the example.
