ABSTRACT
An agent may be given actual authority either expressly or impliedly. Actual authority arises where the principal and agent agree, expressly or impliedly, that the agent should have authority.
Express authority
An agency may be created by the principal giving express instructions, for example, where a seller puts goods into an auction sale asking for them to be sold. It may be possible to imply authority from express instructions, as where the agent cannot fulfil his express instructions without exercising further powers.
