Description
50.06 Agent--Issue as to Scope of Authority of Agent Only One question for you to determine is whether or not [alleged agent's name] was acting within the scope of [his/her] authority. An agent is acting within the scope of [his/her] authority if [he/she] is engaged in an activity which has been assigned to [him/her] by [his/her] principal, or if [he/she] is doing anything that may reasonably be said to have been contemplated as a part of that activity which benefits the principal. It is not necessary that an act or failure to act must have been expressly authorized by principal. Instruction revised September 2009.
