Business Associations › Agency & Authority

Actual vs. apparent authority: who binds the principal?

Modern agency law lives in the Restatement (Third) of Agency (2006). Actual authority turns on what the principal communicated to the agent; apparent authority turns on what the principal manifested to the third party — a title, a position, a course of dealing.

Key point · ★ memorize

A private cap on the agent’s authority does not defeat apparent authority the third party neither knew nor had reason to know about.

Question 18 of 20 Reviewed

A supplier sued a restaurant in the U.S. District Court for the District of the state for $22,000 in unpaid produce invoices. The restaurant was personally served with the summons and complaint on March 3 but let the 21-day response deadline pass without filing an answer or any Rule 12 motion. The… Is the supplier entitled to garnish the restaurant’s account at this point?

  • ANo, because an entry of default is not yet an enforceable judgment.
  • BNo, because the defendant may cure any default within 30 days.
  • CYes, because the clerk’s default entry is a final money judgment.
  • DYes, because failing to respond admits the full amount owed.
Explanation

Entry of default and default judgment are two separate steps, and only the second is enforceable. Under Rule 55(a) the clerk’s entry of default is a bookkeeping notation that the restaurant "failed to plead or otherwise defend" — it clears the runway but hands the supplier nothing to collect.

Owen and his business partner Ray fell out over who would control their company. During a heated meeting, Ray pulled a knife, held it to Owen’s throat, and physically closed Owen’s hand around a pen to force his signature onto a document transferring Owen’s… What is the status of the share transfer?

  • AVoidable by Owen, because the threat left him no reasonable alternative to signing.
  • BVoid, because physical compulsion to sign means there was never any real assent.
  • CVoidable by Owen, because Ray's improper threat of a crime induced his signature.
  • DEnforceable, because Owen physically signed the document with his own hand.

Question

What are the four elements that create an agency relationship?
