ABSTRACT
Part (b) is concerned with obligations of an agent, and the remedies of the principal for breach of such obligations.
As regards part (a), the suggested order of treatment is as follows.
v Authority: vstate the principles relating to an agent’s actual and apparent
authority; v state the requirements for apparent authority, as set out in Rama Corp
and Proved Tin and General Investments (1952); vdeal with the issue that the representation of authority must come
from the principal (Armagas Ltd v Mundogas Ltd (1986)), and the way in which this has been interpreted in First Energy (UK) Ltd v Hungarian International Bank Ltd (1993); and
vapply the above to the facts of the problem.
