But for those who don’t trust the law of agency — or their colleagues’ gullibility in believing people are who they claim to be — there’s this neat rep. It is blighted by the same [[Metaphysics|metaphysical]] canker as an authority warranty, in that if you in fact ''do'' know the chap executing the contract ''isn’t'' properly authorised, then no representation that he gives you saying that he ''is'' will make a blind bit of difference. You might have a [[Negligent misstatement|negligent]], or even fraudulent misstatement claim against him, but he’s just some guy, you know, his pockets won’t be that deep, and if you ''knew'' it was a misstatement, good luck establishing [[causation]]. | But for those who don’t trust the law of agency — or their colleagues’ gullibility in believing people are who they claim to be — there’s this neat rep.

But they’re quite different things, in this commentator’s pedantic view. | '''Odd spot''': often combined with the {{repprov|capacity}} representation into a [[capacity and authority]] rep.
