Liability of person managing event

Hello,
i have a case on which i need some guidance.
 
There was a music concert organised by a private limited company, say XYZ and asked group of few people, say GRP, to manage the concert. the group of people is not any constituted entity it is just a group of few friends who accepted the proposal to manage the event.
 
while conducting deals with the parties for the concert the GRP dealt with some vendors and introduced some vendors to XYZ and dealt with as per the directions of the XYZ.
 
however the concert occurred loss and all the vendors accepted the payment as much as paid by the XYZ leaving some of the payment except one vendor who does not want to settle at lower payment and forcing GRP the settle the remaining payment.
 
Even after so many requests from GRP to the vendor he never came with them to meet XYZ to settle the claim and stuck at excuse that he dealt with GRP so he shall claim money from GRP.
 
other fact of the case are
there is no written agreement or evident agreement that there was any deal between  XYZ and GRP except on the banners and publicity documents XYZ was shown as "Organiser" and GRP as "Managed by"
there is no written agreement or any evident agreement between GRP and the vendors dealt with.
 
kindly guide whether GRP is liable to any vendor in case of loss where they were acting as a person who were managing the event in case of loss
 
kindly provide us with appropriate guidance.
 
thanking you.

Hi,

As per the facts of the case provided by you that, XYZ is the organizer and you were acting as a managing team and there was no such service agreement between you both, still XYZ cannot deny that they are the actual organizers of the event.

Here, you (GRP) are merely acting as a service provider and as far as the other service providers i.e. the vendors are concern, certainly XYZ is liable for the same. The employer or the profit making organization is also liable for the losses.

If the vendor files a case against you, then defend yourself strongly and keep the actual facts in front of the court.

Thank you sir for the response And kindly guide whether it would be logical to say that GRP and other vendors are in the same line as they were both working for the organiser, XYZ and the case filed, if any, against GRP would lose the merit if it is proved that GRP was just acting as a intermediary between organiser and the vendor?
