Setting prices ACCC

Price fixing. It is illegal for competing businesses to get together and agree to fix their prices (or to agree to charge certain fees). Price fixing agreements don’t need to be in writing – a verbal agreement or an informal understanding is sufficient..

Definition Of Agency In Business Law Morrissey Law

1. The general rule is that once an agent has executed a contract on behalf of its principal it is no longer a party to the agreement and is therefore indemnified from liabilities that ensue. Situations where the agent can be held liable include: 1. When it is not sufficiently clear that the ‘agent’ is acting as the agent. Where it is undisclosed or not sufficiently clear the third party can choose to enforce the contract on either the principal or the agent. This occurred in Cincotta v Russo (2019). Our article on that case here. 2. If the agent executes a deed in its own name, the deed must state include a statement outlining it the agent executed it on behalf of the principal. 3. If the contract includes situations in which the agent can be held liable. 4. Where the agent executes a contract as an agent but rather is acting on its own behalf. An agent can also be held liable in tort. The common tortious liabilities concern negligence, misrepresentation and deceit.

The legal relationship of agency Brisbane Technology, IT

1. The relationship between an Agent and their Principal is, much like that between a solicitor and their client, a fiduciary relationship. In the agency relationship, the Agent owes a fiduciary duty to the Principal, which compels the Agent to act only in the best interests of the Principal. The fiduciary duty prevents the Agent from acting in a manner that: 1. conflicts with the interests of the Principal; and 2. causes the Agent to gain an undisclosed, personal benefit by virtue of their position as Agent. Outside of the fiduciary duty an Agent owes their Principal, an Agent also has other duties, including by not limited to: 1. complying with the terms of the agency agreement; 2. acting only within the scope of their authority; and 3. acting personally, that is, they must not subcontract their duties to another party.
