Can the agent have higher authority than the principal?

If we go strictly as per the law the answer would be NO. However, law confers upon the agent the power to do things which even the principal would not be entitled to; under extraordinary circumstances. These can be situations in which public safety is involved, in avoiding some natural calamity, to promote a greater good, etc. The exceeding powers are very limited and are available for exercise only in unforseen or uncontrollable circumstances.

What was the central authority in western Europe during the middle ages?

There was only one organization that had broad authority over most of western Europe during the Middle Ages, which was the Church.

Is the principal liable for the faults of the products sold by the agent which are not a product of the principal?

It depends. There are certain situations where they could be. If they gave faulty instructions to their agent, of they were negligent in hiring the agent, or if they did not supervise the agent properly. Then, there is the doctrine of Respondeat Superior, which allows a principal to be liable for their agent's acts that happened while the agent was acting "in the scope" of the agent's authority. Then, there are specific factors that have to be met in order to prove that. It gets very complex.


What is law of agency?

The law of agency is the body of law that addresses the rights, duties, and related obligations arising from a principal-agent relationship, i.e., when one person acts on behalf of another. For example, a real estate agent has the authority to offer property on behalf of the owner, or an attorney has the authority to represent the client and, in some cases, bind the client.
