This book focuses on a highly significant issue in agency law: the legal situation created when an agent acts without authority.




The Unauthorised Agent


Book Description

The focus of this book, the legal situation created when an agent acts without authority, is one of the most important issues in agency law. The analysis is divided into three sections: apparent authority, ratification and the liability of the falsus procurator. Adopting a unique comparative perspective, the contributions are drawn from many different legal systems, providing the opportunity for analysis of the European common law/civil law divide. The analysis extends beyond Europe, however, taking into account the mixed legal system of South Africa, as well as the United States. Finally, there is a useful consideration of the Principles of European Contract Law and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts 2004. This study will be an invaluable guide for those interested in the study of comparative law, international practitioners and those interested in the harmonisation of European Private Law.




The Apparent Authority of the Unauthorised Agent


Book Description

Can an agent who is not authorised to contract for a company nevertheless be clothed with ostensible authority to communicate the principal's approval? Conventional understanding of apparent authority may suggest not, for the representation as to the principal's approval may be no different from the agent's self-authorisation. However, the controversial case of First Energy v Hungarian International Bank Ltd (“First Energy”) has held otherwise. Although the correctness of First Energy has been doubted, it has recently been unequivocally affirmed by the Privy Council in Kelly v Fraser. This note considers how Kelly v Fraser may affect the reception of First Energy in Singapore.
