This kind of authority is known as ostensible authority which the agent is held out as having.

Here, the salesman had no authority to receive payments except for crossed cheques made to the company (the principal). Watt and Sons bought sponges from the salesman and paid by cheques made to the salesman. The sponge company knew about this but had not objected. After the salesman ran away with money, International Sponge Importers tried to sue Watt and Sons for the money that had been paid to the salesman directly but Watt and Sons were deemed not liable to pay as the salesman was held out as having the authority to receive the payments directly. The International Sponge Importers V Watt and Sons case can be differed from the case of Watteau V Fenwick [1893] 1 QB 346.

Implied terms are terms that are assumed and expected to be carried out. They do not have to be communicated since it would be reasonable to assume that both parties are aware of them. To put this into context let’s take the example of the man at the restaurant. He orders his meal, eats his meal and then walks out the restaurant instead of paying at the end. He claims he was never asked to pay, so he doesn’t need to. He is in the wrong since it is an implied term that after a meal the customer must pay the restaurant for their order. If he walks out without paying he is breaching the contract and breaking the law. The restaurant are entitled to sue for damages and use the law against the customer.
