Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 4.4-4
Agency - Defined
The plaintiff claims the defendant is liable because [A] is the defendant's agent. To find that [A]
is in fact the defendant's agent, you must find that three things have occurred between [A] and
the defendant.
First, the defendant must have in some way communicated (his/her) intention to [A] that [A]
would act for (him/her) in connection with the undertaking <describe it>.
Second, [A] must have agreed to act for the defendant in connection with the undertaking; and
Third, the defendant and [A] must have agreed or understood that the defendant would be in
control of the undertaking.
If you find that these three things have occurred, then you must find that [A] is in fact the
defendant's agent.
