Heald v Kenworthy: Difference between revisions

A formative case on the principle of [[undisclosed agent|undisclosed agency]] in which Parke B roundly dissed “Lord Tenterden’s rule” (that an undisclosed [[principal]] is not liable to the [[vendor]] if the [[principal]] has paid or settled accounts with the [[agent]]) devised in {{casenote|Thompson|Davenport}}, and instead opined that the [[undisclosed principal]] has no defence when {{sex|he}} has settled accounts or made payment to the [[agent]], unless the third party has misled the [[principal]] into making that payment.
