OPINION

BUCKLEY, J.

In this opinion, we hold that Government Code1 section 825 does not compel a public entity to pay a judgment entered against its employee unless the public entity provided the employee's defense. Section 825.2 ensures protection of public employees by providing for indemnity by public entities for employees' actions committed in the course and scope of employment.
