Section 592: Recognition of transaction carried out by agent

1) Whatever a person can do on his or her own, the person may get the same done, or cause to be done, through an agent, subject to the law.

Provided that no act may be done through an agent for which one has to be present in person.

2) A contract concluded through an agent appointed pursuant to Section 591 or an act done by the agent shall be deemed to have been carried out by the concerned person, and the obligation arising out of such an act shall be performed as if the contract were concluded or the act done by the principal.

Provided that if the agent has done any act beyond his or her authority, the principal shall not be liable for such an act other than that accepted by him or her.

3) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (1), if, out of the acts done beyond authority, some acts are within his or her authority and some are beyond it, and the part done within his or her authority can be separated, the principal shall be liable to the extent of the acts done within authority.
