Agency refers to the legal relationship between a principal and an agent whereby the principal employs the agent to perform certain acts on their behalf. This relationship is founded on a contract that outlines the duties, responsibilities, and limits of authority delegated to the agent.
Express Agency refers to a clearly articulated and formally recognized relationship between an agent and a principal, delineated through a written contract or oral agreement. This is in contrast to Implied Agency, which might arise from actions or circumstances rather than explicit communication.
