Top Law Schools

My agency lecture stressed that an agency relationship requires assent (including capacity to ascend), benefit and control.

The mini outline says an agency relationship requires capacity, consent and a writing if required by statute of frauds. Significantly, the outline has no mention of benefit or control.

I don't think this is a difference of state law. The lecture was supposedly specific to my state.

I guess my question is, WTF?

For what it's worth, I took Agency in school. My Prof emphasises benefit and control.
