- DCCJ8252/1990
The claimant failed to prove that the 1st Defendant held out the 2nd Defendant as authorised to make the contract; although the 2nd Defendant had access and name cards, the claimant was put on inquiry by material facts (unsigned or unsigned as agent documents, delivery instructions to third parties, lack of returned confirmations) and therefore could not rely on apparent authority; accordingly the 1st Defendant is not liable for the contract purportedly made by the 2nd Defendant.
