Page 462 - Important Provisions of The New Civil Code

Article 1883. If an agent acts in his own name,

the principal has no right of action against the

persons with whom the agent has contracted;

neither have such persons against the principal.

In such case the agent is the one directly bound

in favor of the person with whom he has

contracted, as if the transaction were his own,

except when the contract involves things

belonging to the principal.

The provisions of this Article shall be

understood to be without prejudice to the

actions between the principal and agent.

Article 1891. Every agent is bound to render an

account of his transactions and to deliver to the

principal whatever he may have received by

virtue of the agency, even though it may not be

owing to the principal.
