| | Agency (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Agency is an area of law dealing with a contractual or quasi-contractual relationship between at least two parties in which one, the principal, authorizes the other, the agent, to represent her or his legal interests and to perform legal acts that sometimes bind the principal. | | | In the case of such dual agency the agent must either disclose information received by one party to the other or act in a limited agency capacity to prevent a situation where the agent's loyalty to the multiple principals is compromised. | | | Agency by estoppel is created when an agent's unauthorized activity causes a third party to believe the agent has that authority. |

| | Many of the independent agencies operate as miniature versions of the tripartite federal government, with the authority to "legislate" (through rulemaking), "adjudicate" (through administrative hearings), and to "execute" administrative goals (through agency enforcement personnel). | | | While administrative decision-making bodies are often controlled by larger governmental units, their decisions could be reviewed by a court of general jurisdiction under some principle of judicial review based upon due process (United States) or fundamental justice (Canada). | | | In Germany, the highest administrative court for most matters is the federal administrative court Bundesverwaltungsgericht. |

| | LII: Law about...Agency |
| | Agency law is concerned with any "principal"-"agent" relationship; a relationship in which one person has legal authority to act for another. | | | The law of agency is based on the Latin maxim "Qui facit per alium, facit per se," which means "he who acts through another is deemed in law to do it himself." Agency, in its legal sense, nearly always relates to commercial or contractual dealings. | | | The relationships generally associated with agency law include guardian-ward, executor or administrator-decedent, and employer-employee. |

| | Under European legal codes, special administrative courts review the actions of administrative agencies; in common law systems, on the other hand, ordinary courts have complete jurisdiction over controversies involving the validity of agency action. | | | Administrative agencies, either independent (e.g., the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Federal Aviation Administration) or part of the executive branch (e.g., the U.S. Department of Agriculture), are created, under constitutional provisions (enabling clauses), by statute or by executive order authorized by statute. | | | The use of administrative agencies in the United States dates from 1789, when legislation first provided for the administration of customs laws, regulation of oceangoing vessels, and payment of pensions to veterans. |

| | Or, a citizen might challenge the rule in the Courts, contending that the rule is outside the agency's authority, or arbitrary, or passed in violation of procedural rules governing rulemaking. | | | When a court considers a rule, it considers whether the rule falls within the authority delegated by the legislature; it considers whether the agency acted arbitrarily and capriciously; and it considers whether the agency complied with appropriate rule-making procedure. | | | Part of the practice of administrative law is challenging agency rules; but a far more significant part of that practice is assisting clients in complying with complex rules, or advocating for changes before the agency itself. |

For example, the Energy Research and Development Administration is 'an independent executive agency,' according to 42 U.S.C. § 5811 (1982). | | | Nixon Court stated that the executive has exclusive authority and absolute discretion to decide whether to prosecute a case, but it held that the President cannot unilaterally countermand a decision on what materials will be subpoenaed by a special prosecutor working pursuant to regulations without first publicly rescinding the regulations according to established procedures. |
