Brief English Introduction
This reading provides a doctrinal overview of how acts by the legal representative are attributed to the company, while also noting that statutes and articles may limit the representative’s powers. It is a useful baseline for the more difficult ultra vires and bad-faith cases.
Use It For
Use it to introduce the ordinary attribution rule before examining when acts are not attributed or when the representative faces recourse.
Teaching Notes
Ask students to distinguish company liability to third parties from internal responsibility owed by the representative to the company.
