                    Canadian Agency Law

ISBN: 9780433459101

The agency relationship underlies a huge amount of commercial activity. Much of agency law is based upon common law precedent. The only solution to a understanding contractual problems as they arise is to examine how the courts deal with this centuries-old area of law and how case law can be applied to today’s new business relationships.

 

Canadian Agency Law is a comprehensive overview of the nature, formation, and termination of agency in common law Canada. Professor Fridman draws on Canadian case law and statutes to clarify the various competing common law principles that affect each party to an agency relationship: agent, principal, and third parties. His analysis will assist you to:

•  Draft solid agency contracts that avert future uncertainty and conflict
•  Understand the role of agents in the context of corporations, partnerships, the Crown, and other business structures
• Appreciate how agents can both use and misuse their authority
• Protect agents’ rights so that they can properly carry out their business
• Limit the authority of agents so that they cannot bind principals to unintended contractual obligations

Professor Fridman is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the author of 18 books on legal topics. He has been awarded the Walter Owen Book Prize and the David W. Mundell Medal.
