According to Section 183, any person who has attained the age of majority and
has a sound mind can appoint an agent. In other words, any person capable of
contracting can legally appoint an agent. Minors and persons of unsound mind
cannot appoint an agent.
Who may be an Agent?
In the same fashion, according to Section 184, the person who has attained the
age of majority and has a sound mind can become an agent. A sound mind and a
mature age is a necessity because an agent has to be answerable to the Principal.
Sub-Agent
Who is a sub-agent?
An agent may sometimes delegate the duty that has been delegated to him by
the Principal to somebody else. Ordinarily, an agent cannot delegate the duty he
is supposed to perform himself to another person (delegatus non potest
delegare- discussed below), except in particular circumstances where he must,
out of necessity, do so. Section 191 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 defines a
sub-agent to be a person employed by and acting under the control of the
original agent in the business of the agency.
Delegatus non potest delegare
An agent cannot in ordinary circumstances delegate the duty that was delegated
to him. The principle is based upon the idea that when a Principal appoints an
agent, he does so by placing his confidence and trust in the agent and might not
have similar trust in the work of another person.
