Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

The dispute centered on whether the defendant, acting as an agent, exceeded its authority by agreeing to a change in the construction contract that resulted in a significant cost increase, which the plaintiff, the principal, subsequently refused to cover. The court reasoned that the agent's authority was limited by explicit contractual terms and established practice, and the contract modification in question—a substantial increase in the scope of work that fundamentally altered the project's character—fell outside the scope of general agency powers or any apparent authority, thus rendering the agent's agreement unenforceable against the principal.
