If the act of an agent is ratified:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When an act of an agent is ratified, it means that the principal has given retroactive authority for that act. This means that even though the agent did not have express authority to carry out the act at the time, the principal has now given their approval and the act is considered valid from the time it was carried out. Option B is incorrect because the principal accepting the act does not mean that the agent is liable, they may still be liable depending on the circumstances. Option C is incorrect because ratification only applies to acts that have already been carried out, it does not give the agent express authority for future acts.
