Definition of imputed knowledge
Definition: Knowledge attributed to a person, especially because of their legal responsibility for another's conduct.
Example: A company's CEO is legally responsible for the actions of their employees. If an employee commits fraud, the CEO may be held responsible for their actions due to imputed knowledge.
This example illustrates how imputed knowledge works. Even if the CEO did not have direct knowledge of the employee's fraudulent actions, they may still be held responsible because of their legal responsibility for the employee's conduct.
Behind every great lawyer is an even greater paralegal who knows where everything is.

Simple Definition
Imputed knowledge is when someone is held responsible for knowing something because of their legal responsibility for another person's actions. For example, if a boss knows that their employee is breaking the law, the boss can be held responsible for that knowledge even if they didn't personally witness the employee's actions. It's like being guilty by association.
A good lawyer knows the law; a great lawyer knows the judge.
