| 单词 | Mercantile agent |
| 释义 | 商業代理人 In the factors legislation, an agent having in the customary course of his business as such agent authority either to sell goods, or to consign goods for the purpose of sale, or to buy goods, or to raise money on the security of goods: Factors Ordinance (Cap 48) s 2(1). To be a mercantile agent the agent must be in the business of buying and selling or raising money for others: Belvoir Finance Ltd v Harold G Cole & Co Ltd [1969] 2 All ER 904, 1 WLR 1877. However, it is possible to be a mercantile agent although acting in that capacity only in an isolated transaction for a single principal, or although the agent’s general occupation is that of an independent dealer in the commodity entrusted to him or her, provided the agent acts in the capacity of a mercantile agent and is not a mere servant or shopkeeper: Lowther v Harris [1927] 1 KB 393. A mercantile agent has no authority, implied or statutory, to give goods of his principal to another to pledge for him, even though he may have authority to pledge them himself: De Gorter v Attenborough & Son (1904) 21 TLR 19. Formerly known as ‘factor’. See also Agency; Agent; Broker; Factor; On consignment; Ordinary course of business; Sale of goods. 就代理法例而言，指一名在其作為商業代理人的慣常業務運作中，擁有將貨品售賣、或將貨品為售賣而寄售、或購買貨品、或將貨品抵押以籌集款項等權能的商業代理人：《代理商條例》（第48章）第2(1)條。要成為商業代理人，代理人必須為從事為他人買賣或籌集款項的業務：Belvoir Finance Ltd v Harold G Cole & Co Ltd [1969] 2 All ER 904, 1 WLR 1877。然而，某人雖然僅在單獨的交易中以商業代理人的身份為單一委託人行事，他亦可成為商業代理人，或某人的慣常職業雖然是受委託商品之獨立交易商，但只要他是以商業代理人的身份行事，而非僅僅作為僱員或店主，他亦可成為商業代理人：Lowther v Harris [1927] 1 KB 393。商業代理人沒有權限（不論是隱含或法定）把委託人的貨品代表委託人給其他人作質押，縱然他自己可能有權限作出質押：De Gorter v Attenborough & Son (1904) 21 TLR 19。以前稱為「代理商」。另見 Agency; Agent; Broker; Factor; On consignment; Ordinary course of business; Sale of goods。 |
