The Law of Agency

By Chibike Amucheazi

The book centres around the law of agency as 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 who is authorized to represent or act on behalf of another referred to as a principal and to create legal relations with a third party. The complications in agency have always been about the scope of authority conferred on an agent and the extent to which an agent is to act on behalf of the principal. This book critically analyses the nature of agency relationships in view of the levels of authority and liability of parties thereto. The book is thus based on the scope of agency with regards to the levels of authority; right and duties of an agent and principal as well as usual authority as a further dimension in representations. The book will be found useful to trade practitioners and lawyers in general.
