It is blighted by the same [[Metaphysics|metaphysical]] canker as a {{repprov|capacity}} 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]]. | ||
