agency law

and where's option D? And what do you think the answer should be?

there were only three options i think the answer is B because agents should not take benefits of the contract ...right?

If the agent claims to be an agent, then the principal is liable under the contract But then the principal can sue the agent to recover the costs The question asks for whether the agent is liable in contract and the answer is no. But he'll be liable to the principal afterwards

Yes, the answer is C

but an agent may be held personally liable where ? the agent enters into a contract without disclosing the existence of a principal ? the agent acts on own behalf even though claiming to act on behalf of a principal ? normal trade custom has established liability on the agent i copy the above from the notes sir.....option c is it not the same with second point above?im confused now

Where an agent enters into a contract without disclosing that he's an agent, he's personally liable on the contract Where an agent enters into a contract and discloses that he's an agent, he's not personally liable on the contract. However, if he's acted beyond the limits of his authority then he will likely find himself liable to the principal who will sue for breach of agency powers. But he's not liable ON THE CONTRACT OK?

You're right!

ok thanks Mike
