Summary

The plaintiff claimed that the defendant had, through his estate agent, entered into a binding contract to grant a lease. Mr Justice Parker said:

'Estate agents as such have no general authority to enter into contracts for their employers. Their business is to find offers and submit them to their employers for acceptance.'
