Hamilton Utility Inc. appointed Juan Abrams as one of its corporate officers. Abrams rented cars from Quality Cars Ltd, a car rental business. The rental agreements named Abrams as renter, and he signed the agreements describing himself as company secretary of Hamilton Utility. Abrams, however, used the cars for personal purposes and not for company business. Hamilton refused to pay the charges as Abrams had not been given any authority enter contracts on its behalf. Is Hamilton liable to pay the car rental charges? Explain. What would be the result if Hamilton appointed Abrams to a secretarial position?
