B. Other forms of commercial agency
1 Where the owner of a trading, manufacturing or other commercial establishment appoints a person to represent him in managing the affairs of the business as a whole or in carrying out certain transactions on behalf of the business without granting that person a registered power of attorney, the agency authority of the representative extends to all activities that fall within the normal scope of the commercial operations of the business or are normally connected with the transactions in question.
2 However, a commercial agent is not authorised to sign bills of exchange, take out loans or conduct litigation unless expressly granted such powers.
III. Restrictions
1 La procuration peut être restreinte aux affaires d’une succursale.
2 Elle peut être donnée à plusieurs personnes à la fois, sous la condition que la signature de l’une d’entre elles n’oblige le mandant que si les autres concourent à l’acte de la manière prescrite (procuration collective).
3 D’autres restrictions des pouvoirs ne sont pas opposables aux tiers de bonne foi.
