"Let (the) superior respond" is an English equivalent of the Latin phrase Respondeat superior. The phrase most famously references the liability of an employer for wrongful actions within the scope of an employee's job position. The pronunciation will be "res-PON-dey-at SOO-pey-ree-or" in Church and classical Latin.

"Respondeat Superior" is a Latin term translated means "Let the master speak". In legal matters, it is a plea to hold the most trained, knowledgeable, and ranking individual accountable, or to at least have them explain the situation as they understand it. For example, if a patient received a filling in a tooth that later required a crown and root canal, the patient might want to hold the dentist and his assistant responsible for a poorly provided filling. If the assistant were to be asked to explain the situation, s/he might respond (through an attorney) "Respondeat Superior". This would mean the assistant only acted as an agent of the dentist, and it is the dentist who is best qualified to defend the position of the dental practice, because of his greater training, knowledge, expertise, and the fact that nearly all clinical decisions are made by the dentist, not the dental assistant. Respondeat Superior attempts to limit the liablity of subordinates in lawsuits.
Actually, the employee must be sued in order for the respondeat superior doctrine to apply. Respondeat superior doctrine only imposes liability on the principal for tortuous acts committed by the agent; the agent must therefore be found guilty of having committed the tort before any liability can be assigned to the principal.
