Whenever such transaction comes into effect, the 'Law of Agency' comes into limelight. In simplest term, the law of agency includes the above mentioned three parties related in a business transaction. The principle authorizes the agents to perform an action or activity with a third party and in doing so creates liability for the principle. In other words, despite the fact that the principle has not dealt directly with the client, the principle's agent has done so. In doing so, the agent has created a relationship of the third party with the principle. If the agent, through this activity, has committed some type of wrong-doing, the principle would be directly responsible.

Methods are as follows....
1- Agency by consent
Consent may be express or implied. An agency can be expressly created either orally or in writing. There is
only one exception to this, which is that if the agent is to execute a deed on the principal's behalf (for
example a conveyance of land or a lease exceeding three years) then the agency must be created by deed.
Essentially this means that the agent is given a power of attorney.
2-Agency by estoppel (or 'holding out')
Agency by estoppel arises by operation of law and is no less effective than an agency expressly created. It arises
` When the words or conduct of the principal give to a third party the impression that the
person who purports to contract with the third party is the agent of the principal, and
` The third party, as a result, acts upon this.
The principal is 'estopped', or prevented, from denying the existence of the agency
3-Agency of necessity
An agency of necessity is another way in which an agency can arise by operation of law. Its origins can be
found in mercantile law, and in shipping law in particular. It may arise where a person is faced with an
emergency in which the property or interests of another person are in imminent jeopardy and, in order to
preserve that property or those interests, it becomes necessary to act for that person without his
authority. An agency of necessity probably only applies where there is already some existing contractual
relationship between the parties, as the law is highly unlikely to allow a person to be bound by the act of a
complete stranger.
4-Ratification
In certain circumstances the relationship of principal and agent can be created or extended with
retrospective effect, that is, once the contract has been entered into by the agent and third party.
Ratification only validates past acts of the purported agent. It gives no authority for the future.
Thus, where A makes a contract on behalf of P at a time when A has no authority from P, P may later ratify
the contract. This will have the retrospective effect of establishing an agency as at the time the contract was
made. All parties are then in the same position as if the principal had been the original contracting party, ie
the principal may sue or be sued by the third party and the agent no longer has any liability.

The law
An agency offers a contract to its models to sign. The contract can be exclusive or non exclusive and also contains detailed guidelines and rules to follow in order for both parties to continue a positive working relationship. Most contracts contain an exit clause, which lists the steps one needs to take in order to terminate the contract. Agencies usually have the option to terminate a contract at any time for any reason.

agency of ratification is agency because by ratification the principal acknowledges to take the liability of the contract since the time of the comenmence of the contract aldhough he was not aware of the contract. All the liabilities that could have been incurred by the agent are transferred to the Principal as if he was the one who entered into the contract. So long as the principal is given all the material fact, the contract remains valid even if he ratified it by means of implied terms.
