Not every contract for intermediation services is an agency agreement. An agent\u2019s intermediation must be continuing in nature.<\/p>\n
What does this mean?<\/p>\n
The Civil Code provides no definition. Case law and legal commentary nevertheless identify typical features.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd0e Intermediation can usually be considered continuing where it is:<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd35 continuous: the agent regularly performs intermediation activities and the relationship is ongoing rather than one-off;<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd35 recurring: it concerns contracts which the principal concludes periodically or in series;<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd35 unlimited: it concerns an unlimited number of contracts, although some take the view that limiting the number of contracts does not itself prevent intermediation from being continuing.<\/p>\n
\u2757 When is intermediation NOT continuing?<\/p>\n
As a general rule, this requirement will not be met if the intermediary\u2019s task is to conclude a single, specific contract.<\/p>\n
\u2757 But take care\u2026<\/p>\n
If that contract is to be renewed, extended or regularly renegotiated, the intermediary\u2019s activities may be continuing even if they \u201cformally\u201d concern just one contract.<\/p>\n
Whether intermediation is continuing must be assessed in light of the entire relationship between agent and principal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
