Zorluk: KolayAgent Authority and Agency Law

Producer Marcus represents Sentinel Insurance. His written agency contract specifically authorizes him to solicit auto insurance applications.

Which type of authority allows Marcus to collect the initial premium?

  2. B

  3. C
    Express authority
  4. D
    Estoppel

Cevap

Implied authority
The correct answer is implied authority because it represents the unwritten authority that an agent inherently possesses to fulfill the express duties outlined in their contract. Since Marcus has the express authority to solicit applications, he naturally has the implied authority to perform standard, necessary tasks like collecting the initial premium to complete those transactions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the producer's authorized duties as stated in the scenario.
Marcus has the express authority to solicit auto insurance applications.
Establishing the baseline of express authority is necessary to determine what other authority naturally follows from the contract.
2
Analyze the specific action in question that is not written in the contract.
Marcus is collecting the initial premium, which is an unwritten action but is necessary to complete the sale.
The nature of the unwritten action determines the type of authority being exercised by the producer.
3
Match the action to the correct legal definition of authority.
Authority that is unwritten but necessary to carry out express duties is defined as implied authority.
This directly identifies the legal principle based on agency law.
