Article 1892. The agent may appoint a

substitute if the principal has not prohibited

him from doing so; but he shall be responsible

for the acts of the substitute:

(1) When he was not given the power to

appoint one;

(2) When he was given such power, but

without designating the person, and the

person appointed was notoriously

incompetent or insolvent.

All acts of the substitute appointed against the

prohibition of the principal shall be void. (1721)

Every stipulation exempting the agent from the

obligation to render an account shall be void.
