Principal and agent

 

Principal and agent


The proposition contended for is that the
agent authorized to part with the firms money on loan to A, B. or C had no
authority to receive repayment on their behalf. Their Lordships cannot accept
this. In their opinion the authority to invest on loan necessarily implies in
the circumstances of this case authority to receive repayment.

Liability to account for legal relationship
of agent and principal and trustee and cestuique
trust. Responsibility to account not only for the amounts which have been
actually received but also for that which with due diligence could be received
does not rest on a co-sharer with no responsibility to undertake it.
