Agency is a fundamental topic in commercial law and a proper grasp of it aids the understanding of many other areas. Here, the principles of the English law of agency are explored through the case law from which they were developed. Contrasting views of other writers on the area are also considered, alongside the author's own analysis of the cases. The nature of agency, and the rights and duties as between principal and agent, principal and third party, and agent and third party, are all examined in detail. The treatment is concise, but comprehensive. It should prove valuable to those taking courses covering agency at undergraduate or postgraduate level, and to all who need a thorough treatment of the subject.
