In which form of organisation is a trade agreement made by one person binding on the others ? Give reasons to support of your answer.

Solution
A trade agreement made by one person is binding on the other in a partnership form of organisation because of following reasons :

Mutual agency

  • Partnership is a form of business organisation which is carried on by all or any one acting for all i.e. every partner is both an agent and a principal.
  • He is an agent of other partners as he represents them and thereby binds them through his acts.
  • He is a principal as he can be bound by the acts of other partners.

Decision making and control

  • The partners share amongst themselves the responsibility of decision making and control of day to day activities.
  • Decisions are generally taken with consent.
  • However, if one partner takes any decision for the betterment of the firm, that is binding on all the partners of the firm.
