The mandatary is entitled to deviate from the instructions of the mandator if they may assume in the circumstances that the mandator would approve of such deviation if they were aware of the factual situation. The mandatary is to notify the mandator prior to such deviation and is to wait for the decision of the latter unless postponement entails danger.
