    This case from 1967 established that a principal-agent relationship requires consent from both parties, either expressly or through their words and actions. Even if the parties do not recognize the relationship themselves or try to disclaim it, they will still be considered to have consented if they agreed to a relationship that amounts to one in law. The consent of both the principal and agent is necessary to form the relationship.

    1967

    Lord
    Pearson
    Agency


    Lord Pearson said: "The relationship of principal and agent can only be
    established by the consent of the principal and agent. They will be held to
    have consented if they have agreed to what amounts in law to such a
    relationship even if they do not recognise it themselves and even if they
    have professed to disclaim it . . The consent however must be given by
    each of them either expressly or by words and conduct."
