CJI-Civ. 8:12
Apparent Authority (Agency by Estoppel) — Definition and Effect
An agent has apparent authority when a principal, by words or conduct, has caused
another person to reasonably believe that the principal has authorized an agent to act on
the principal’s behalf, even though the principal may not have done so. When an agent has
apparent authority, it is the same as if the principal had authorized the agent’s actions.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
