Agency without power of agency is not permitted for a unilateral legal transaction. However, if the person in relation to whom such a legal transaction was to be undertaken did not, when the legal transaction was undertaken, question the power of agency the representative claimed to have, or if they were in agreement that the representative was to act without power of agency, the provisions on contracts apply accordingly. The same applies if a unilateral legal transaction is undertaken in relation to a representative having no power of agency with the representative’s consent.
