This Research Handbook reaffirms agency law as a coherent body of law that governs consensual relationships in which one person has power to act with legal consequences for another person. The book explores how agency law and vicarious liability are related to but distinct from other subjects within private law, including contract and tort law.
Written by leading experts, the chapters provide novel coverage of significant and recurrent issues regarding legal agents and intermediaries in a general context, such as policy underpinnings and authority and boundaries. Contributors situate legal agency as a central orienting point to examine a range of intermediaries within distinct markets including securities, insurance, and visual art. Incorporating analyses of recent and leading cases, they identify similarities and differences between various approaches. They investigate the policy considerations underlying legal doctrines relating to agency and intermediaries, and address liability for wrongs committed by agents.
This Research Handbook on Agency and Intermediation is a crucial resource for academics, researchers and students specializing in private and commercial law, as well as corporate law and governance, and business law. Lawyers and litigators in commercial practice and specialists in securities and visual art will also benefit from its valuable insights.
