Abstract

A person (the agent) may make a legal transaction, especially a contract, in the name of and on behalf of another person (the principal). In the case of a contract, there may be three persons: an agent, a principal and the other party to the contract. If the agent has the authority and acts in the name of and on behalf of the principal, the contract binds the principal. The agent has neither rights nor obligations with regard to the concluded contract between the parties. Such a case is referred to as direct agency. It should be noted that there are certain legal transactions that cannot be made by an agent such as an engagement, a marriage and a testamentary disposition.
