§ 2319 Agent Authority Scope

• •An agent can do normal, necessary tasks to fulfill their job.
• •An agent can make factual statements that are needed for their authority, even if the other party can't easily verify them.
• •The law protects agents when they act in the usual way for their business.

A real estate agent tells a buyer that a house has no hidden structural problems, which the buyer relies on when deciding to purchase.

The agent is allowed to make that statement because it's part of the usual work of selling a house, and the buyer can't easily verify the structural condition themselves, so the agent's statement is covered by the law.
