章節(jié)摘錄
Agency is a two-party relationship in which one party (the agent) is authorized to act on behalf of, and under the control of, the other party (the principal). Simple examples of the agency relation include hiring a salesperson to sell goods, retaining an attorney, and engaging a real estate broker to sell a house. Agency laws most important social function is to stimulate business and commercial activity. It does so by allowing people and businesses to increase the transactions that they can complete within a given time. Without agency, business and commercial life would proceed at a very slow pace. A sole proprietors ability to engage in trade, for instance, would be limited by the need to make each contract for purchase or sale in person. As artificial persons, moreover, corporations can act only through their agents. Agency law can be divided into two rough categories. The first involves the legal rules controlling relations between the principal and the agent. These include the rules governing formation of the agency relation, the duties the principal and the agent owe each other, and the ways that an agency can be terminated. Such topics are the main concern of this chapter. The second involves the legal rules controlling the principals and the agents relations with the third parties. In this chapter, our main concerns are the principals and the agents liability on contracts made by the agent and on torts committed by the agent. 1. Formation and capacity. An agency is created by the manifested agreement of two persons that one person (the agent) shall act for the benefit of the other (the principal) under the principals direction. As the term manifested suggests, the test for the existence of an agency is objective. If the parties behavior and the surrounding facts and circumstances indicate an agreement that one person is to act for the benefit and under the control of another, courts hold that the relationship exists.
