Download or read book The Law of Principal and Agent (Classic Reprint) written by Eric Blackwood Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Principal and Agent The kind reception this book received from my brethren at the Bar and the members of the other branch of the profession has induced me to try to make it more complete and, I hope, useful. This Edition contains 154 more pages and about 700 additional cases, and includes all the decisions up to the end of August, 1901. The chapter on Remuneration forms, I believe, an almost complete digest of the cases on commission agency, which affect brokers, travellers, house agents, and other agents who are paid by commission. The chapter on Ratification points out some of the anomalies of the law as at present laid down on that subject, and includes the latest case, viz., Keightley v. Durant, decided in the House of Lords last May. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
