Comparative law notes
EN term explanation: A term that is seemingly synonymous with "agent", but is generally not defined uniformly at least in US legislation. It is very vague inasmuch as the phrase itself does not indicate what the representative's scope of authority actually is. The meaning of the is contract and statute-specific. ** Since both the German term and English term are devoid of any exact meaning in the absence of the contract or law defining it, the translation pairing is quite good.
