The Law of Agency

The law of agency is an area of commercial law dealing with a set of contractual, quasi-contractual and non-contractual fiduciary relationships that involve a person, called the agent, that is authorized to act on behalf of another (called the principal) to create legal relations with a third party.[1] Succinctly, it may be referred to as the equal relationship between a principal and an agent whereby the principal, expressly or implicitly, authorizes the agent to work under his or her control and on his or her behalf. The agent is, thus, required to negotiate on behalf of the principal or bring him or her and third parties into contractual relationship. This branch of law separates and regulates the relationships between:

  • agents and principals (internal relationship), known as the principal-agent relationship;
  • agents and the third parties with whom they deal on their principals’ behalf (external relationship); and
  • principals and the third parties when the agents deal.

In 1986, the European Communities enacted Directive 86/653/EEC on self-employed commercial agents. In the UK, this was implemented into national law in the Commercial Agents Regulations 1993.[2]

The reciprocal rights and liabilities between a principal and an agent reflect commercial and legal realities. A business owner often relies on an employee or another person to conduct a business. In the case of a corporation, since a corporation is a fictitious legal person, it can only act through human agents. The principal is bound by the contract entered into by the agent, so long as the agent performs within the scope of the agency.

A third party may rely in good faith on the representation by a person who identifies himself as an agent for another. It is not always cost effective to check whether someone who is represented as having the authority to act for another actually has such authority. If it is subsequently found that the alleged agent was acting without necessary authority, the agent will generally be held liable.

Do you act act as agents for the “Repossession of houses?”

If you do, do you really know where you stand when it comes to the paperwork and the law?

Are you acting as the agent?

What actual documents are you relying on for you not being charged with a “TORT”?

Trespass, aiding abbeting fraud, theft, grievous bodily harm, actual bodily harm, damage to property?

Those are all Torts.

These and probably many more …

The only thing that MAY be stopping a claim against YOU direct and not YOUR company is a bit of paper that is now showing increasing signs of being unlawful and invalid and therefore VOID.

If YOU are acting under a VOID order, then YOU will be personally liable for YOUR actions, not your boss.

Please take time to ensure that YOU as the one breaking the windows, drilling the locks, have sufficient knowledge and backup to stop any claims against YOU.
