This report analyzes a commercial law case concerning the responsibilities of Leegall Lore & Associates (LLA) towards Glitz Cruisers, a yacht charter company. The central issue revolves around whether LLA is liable for the actions of its partner, Mike High, who chartered a luxury yacht from Glitz Cruisers. The report examines the applicability of Section 29 of the Partnership Act 1891, agency law principles, and relevant case law, including Commonwealth Bank of Australia & Anor v Smith [1991], Brick and Pipe Industries Ltd v Occidental Life Nominees Pty Ltd (1992), and Hely-Hutchinson v Brayhead Ltd [1968]. The analysis focuses on the concepts of express, implied, and apparent authority. The report concludes that LLA carries responsibilities under agency law for Glitz Cruisers, as Mike High acted on behalf of the firm, and the firm did not inform the client regarding the resignation of Mike, making LLA liable for Mike's actions. The report also discusses potential remedies for LLA, such as refusing payment, rescission, and suing for damages.
