Agency in civil law

It refers to the act that an agent acts with a third party in the name of the principal within the scope of agency authority, thus directly causing rights and obligations to the principal. For example, if Party A entrusts Party B to buy something on its behalf, Party B will conclude a sales contract with Party C in the name of Party A, and the resulting contractual rights and obligations will be directly borne by Party A..

Here, Party A is the principal (also called "himself"), Party B is the agent and Party C is the third person (also called "the counterpart").

First, according to the different basis of agency, it can be divided into entrusted agency and legal agency.

(1) principal-agent, also known as intentional agent, that is, the agent is authorized by the principal.

(2) legal agency is an agency relationship directly generated according to the provisions of the law, which is mainly set to protect the legitimate rights and interests of people without civil capacity and those with limited civil capacity, such as parents' agency for minor children.

Two, whether the agent is transferred to others is divided into the agent and the re-agent.

① This agent.

② Re-agency. Re-agency, also known as re-agency, refers to the act of an agent entrusting others to carry out agency for the benefit of the principal. In contrast, an agent who is personally represented by an agent is the agent.

Three, whether to engage in agency in the name of the principal can be divided into explicit agency and anonymous agency.

① Nominal agent. The so-called apparent agency refers to the agency behavior carried out by the agent, which must be carried out in the name of the principal himself.

② Anonymous agent. The so-called anonymous agency means that although the agent does not act as a legal act in his own name, he actually means to act as an agent, and the counterpart knows or should know, so that the effect of agency also occurs in law.
