This Research Handbook reaffirms agency law as a coherent body of law that governs consensual relationships in which one person has power to act with legal consequences for another person. The book explores how agency law and vicarious liability are related to but distinct from other subjects within private law, including contract and tort law.Written by leading experts, the chapters provide novel coverage of significant and recurrent issues regarding legal agents and intermediaries in a general context, such as policy underpinnings and authority and boundaries. Contributors situate legal agency as a central orienting point to examine a range of intermediaries within distinct markets including securities, insurance and visual art. Incorporating analyses of recent and leading cases, they identify similarities and differences between various approaches. They investigate the policy considerations underlying legal doctrines relating to agency and intermediaries, and address liability for wrongs committed by agents.This Research Handbook on Agency and Intermediation is a crucial resource for academics, researchers and students specializing in private and commercial law, as well as corporate law and governance, and business law. Lawyers and litigators in commercial practice and specialists in securities and visual art will also benefit from its valuable insights.

This book is the first to examine intermediaries in a holistic and systematic manner. The classical model of face-to-face contracting between two individuals is no longer dominant. Instead, deals frequently involve a number of parties, often acting through intermediaries. As a result, it is important to understand the role and power of intermediaries.Intermediaries tend to be considered within discrete silos of the law. But by focussing upon a particular, narrow area of law, lessons are not learned from analogous situations. This book takes a broader approach, and looks across the traditional boundaries of private law in order to gain a proper assessment of the role played by intermediaries.A wide range of jurisdictions and topical issues are discussed in order to illuminate the role intermediaries play in commercial law. For example, the continued growth of electronic commerce requires consideration of the role of websites and other platforms as intermediaries. And developments in artificial intelligence raise the prospect of intermediaries being non-human actors. All these issues are subject to rigorous analysis by the expert contributors to this book.
