Agreement 41 at RM1.3 million was a valid and enforceable contract because the First Defendant signed and accepted a cleared deposit, and the Second Defendant's conduct amounted to implied authority and representation that bound her; therefore the Defendants were estopped from denying the First Defendant's authority and specific performance was appropriate.

On the balance of probabilities and supported by contemporaneous documents and conduct (partners resolution, bank signatories, guarantees, emails and payment patterns), PK1 and PK2 were agents of the defendant by implied authority/holding out and therefore liable for the payments; the High Court correctly accepted credibility findings and the appeal is dismissed.

The minority judge would reverse the High Court: vicarious liability was improperly imposed because the trial court failed to identify a specific tort by the employee and failed to apply the required closeness-of-connection test; the employee's shooting was a frolic of his own not done in the course of employment or for the employer's business, therefore the employer should not be held vicariously liable.
