Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Agency law deals with relationships in which one person (the agent) acts on behalf of another person (the principal), creating both contractual and tortious obligations. Therefore, agency law combines elements of both tort law (e.g. the duty of care owed by the agent to the principal) and contract law (e.g. the agreement between the agent and the principal outlining the scope of the agent's authority).
