Agency law in the Scottish courts: Time for a broader approach?

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract / Description of output

Given the small flow of case law in Scotland, it is not surprising that certain issues in agency law remain unresolved. The recent Outer House case of Gray v Baird Logistics (UK) Ltd provided Lord Bannatyne with an important opportunity to consider unresolved issues in the law of ratification in Scotland. Whilst the decision has provided welcome clarity, the method used to reach the decision is perhaps more controversial.
