I'm no expert on Imperial or Kingdom Law but I'll answer your question from my own perspective. Your question was, quite simply, "whose fault is it?"
The answer? It is both the slave and the Holder's fault. However, the slave is at fault directly for committing the act and should be punished appropriately for this failure. The Holder is at fault indirectly simply by being responsible for the education and upbringing of the slave and should be held to account for the failure appropriately.
If the Holder in question disciplines the slave for his failure then the Holder is accepting the responsibility for the failure and performing the duty her station demands of her. Reparations from the Holder to the victim could also be expected, but I am unsure if Imperial or Kingdom Law makes accommodation for this practice.
Both are at fault but one deserves punishment while the other takes responsibility for discipline and administering that punishment.

While I believe I understand the principle and equation put forth by you Mithra, I have a question for clarification's purpose.
If a person in high position and authority, let us say a Holder, commits a crime (let us say assault) against someone of lower social position and authority (a slave, or commoner - use both if you are willing to show the differences in treatment), would the punishment for their infraction be greater (by account of having higher social expectations of demeanor and behavior on them) or lesser (by account of being in a higher social position)?
