Conrad applies an apparently crystal clear literary narrative technique in the tradition of conventional realism, a narrative method that appears deceptively simple. The Secret Agent holds great deal of the social concerns. It is considered supreme masterpieces, it is a brilliantly depicting an ironic narrative of London's seedy and dispossessed underworld of revolutionist and anarchists.
cheque in the amount of $4500 instead of the full $6000. In this case, the agent (Kent) did not disclose the identity of the principal to the third party (Somerset Pet Shops Ltd.), so the agent alone in this case would be liable. The third party may look to the agent for damages. The agent, by the same rule of law, would be entitled to enforce the agreement against the third party if the third party should fail to perform the agreement in accordance with its terms.
No, the act to the agent’s authority to act on behalf of the principal should not be terminated if the agent violates his or her ethical or legal duty to the principal. Sometimes agents violate the code of ethics because he or she may feel that it will benefit him or her on future opportunities. For example, (Miller, 2013) “three employees of Lockheed Martin Corporation copied confidential information and trade secrets from Lockheed’s computer network onto compact discs and Blackberries. Lockheed had authorized the employee-agent to access these files but was understandably upset when the three resigned and went to work for a competitor, taking the trade secrets with them” (pg. 648). Ethically, these three employees didn’t act so loyal to the principal when they took the trading secrets with them when they moved to work for a competitor of the agent. However, like the book stated, because the principle gave them authority to have access to those files, the district court ruled in favor of the three employees because they did not lose this authorization when they breached loyalty to the principal. As long as an agent has full permission, to act on behave of the principal, the agent is in no wrong doing if he as she decides to leave the company
Additionally, it is clarified that contracts falling within the scope of the Act shall contain certain provisions allowing the contracting officer to terminate, by written notice, the contractor’s right to proceed with the work should it be found that the wages being paid by the contractor are less than the prevailing wage. Should termination be necessary, the contractor can be held liable for any excess costs incurred by the Government to gain a new contract or otherwise have the work
The area of law to be discussed would be implied 'terms of a contract which are not agreed by the parties.' They are terms which are related to 'contingencies which might affect the contract of employment in this case.' This is what 'parties intended but left unwritten in the gap of a contract.' There are five conditions by which a contract would be satisfied before a term would be implied. They are 'reasonable and equitable, necessary to give business efficacy so no term will be implied if
“The agency relationship is defined as ‘the fiduciary relationship which results from the manifestation of consent by one person to another that the other shall act in his behalf and subject to his contract, and consent by the other so to act.’ Agents obligations relating to their players are defind not only by contact, but by the fiduciary characteristics of the relationship.” The agent owes his/her player a lot of things in their basic care to their player. These things include the fiduciary duty of undivided loyalty and the duty to act in good faith at all times. The player is going to entrust this agent with all of their fortune, reputation, and legal rights and responsibilities. Along with all of these duties the agent is going to have to abide by what the player wants and carry out what their desire are. This is a responsibility of the agent and it must only do what is desired by and for the player and must not carry out its own business affairs. “The agent must obey all of his/her players’ lawful instruction no matter how arbitrary or capricious any of those instructions seem to the agent or anyone else. However, if the player instructs the agent to perform something illegal, like bribe someone, the agent does not have to comply.”

Throughout this case, it was later revealed that agent Connolly and his partner appeared to have had certain level of freedom while handling Bulger’s case. The head of the FBI failed to limit agent Connolly’s authority in regard to the case as the Bureau were in need of Bulger’s help for information. For the ones who had been keeping an eye on the FBI-Winter Hill Gang activities throughout the years, it was hard to believe that the level of corruption between the FBI and the Winter Hill Gang could have lasted for so many years without the higher-ups in the FBI and the Department of Justice knowing and even perhaps approving of said relationship. As

Polyneice, king of Thebes, has passes away at age 91. "Polyneice's death is considered a homicide" said Special Agent Booth. Booth also added " the former king was shot in the abdomen and on the back of his head".

In both developed and underdeveloped economies, there is a need to put regulations which ensure that profits are not abnormally earned at the expense of the innocent clients. It is therefore the mandate of the territorial authorities to put in place measures that introduce checks and balances in all trades. The respective companies or business must also follow the same suit lest they find themselves in the crossroads of law. However,
The particular focus of this essay is on how terms are implied. This is central because the courts intervene and impose implied terms when they believe that in addition to the terms the parties have expressly agreed on, other terms must be implied into the contract. Gillies argued that the courts have become more interventionist in protecting the rights of contracting parties thereby encroaching upon the notion of freedom of contract. The doctrine of freedom of contract is a prevailing philosophy which upholds the idea that parties to a contract should be at liberty to agree on their own terms without the interference of the courts or legislature. Implied terms can be viewed as a technique of construction or interpretation of contracts. It has been argued that the courts are interfering too much in their approach to determine and interpret the terms of a contract. The aim of this essay is to explore this argument further and in doing so consider whether freedom of contract is lost due to courts imposing implied terms. The essay will outline how the common law implies terms. The final part of the essay will examine whether Parliament, by means of a statute, or terms implied by custom restrict freedom in a contract. An overall conclusion on the issue will be reached.
