Brief English Introduction
This reading focuses on the special authority of the single legal representative compared with other officers, employees, or agents. The key point is that the legal representative combines public status with broad external representative power, so courts cannot analyze the person’s overreach exactly like ordinary agency overreach.
Use It For
