ABSTRACT
Where there is a contract, the agent (A) will obviously be liable for failure to carry out the contract. In some cases, there will be elaborate express terms. In other cases, it would be a question of what is to be implied. In most cases, A will be expected to take reasonable care and skill in pursuit of what he has been appointed to do. In addition, where A is a commercial agent within the Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regulations 1993, certain duties are imposed by these.
