An agent is also empowered to perform legal acts that are binding on the principal and can bind a principal in a contract with a third person. Determining the liability for these contracts made by the agent is based on whether or not the identity of the principal was known to the third party at the time the contract was made. “A disclosed principal is a principal whose identity is known by the third party at the time the contract is made by the agent. A partially disclosed principal is a principal whose identity is not known by the third party, but the third party knows that the agent is or may be acting for a principal at the time the contract is made.

Therefore, there is a situation of Undisclosed Principal, where an agent acts without disclosing either the existence of a principal or the principal’s identity and the agent is directly liable to the third party. If Newcorp’s senior management is concerned over his public display of his personal views as a basis for his termination the judgment is erroneous. However, there might have been some apprehension over the agency relationship to third parties because principals have both contractual and tort liability for certain acts of their agents (Jennings, 2006).

Law Chapelton v Barry Urban District Council shows that unsigned exclusion clauses need to be clearly defined to a reasonable person. Another case highlighting the need for exclusions to be clearly informed to the other party is the case of Causer v Browne.
