Question:
An agency, in law, is the relationship that exists when one person or party (the principal) engages another (the agent) to act for them to do their work, to sell their goods, to manage their business. The law of agency thus governs the legal relationship in which the agent deals with a third party on behalf of the principal. Thus, the legal connection in which the agent deals with a third party on behalf of the principal is governed by agency law. The law of agency is concerned with an economic unit's external commercial interactions and the numerous representatives' powers to influence the principal's legal standing.
