Agency by Estoppel
(redirected from Presumption of Agency)

    0.02 sec.
Agency by Estoppel
A situation in which a reasonable person may assume agency agreement exists when it does not. For example, if a person or company allows another person or company to use proprietary letterhead to send out correspondence, agency by estoppel may exist. Because the agency is assumed, the (presumed) principal may be legally bound by the agent's actions.
