Legal Question in Business Law in Colorado

Good morning,

Under agency law a principal is generally bound by the acts of his agent carried out within the scope of the agent's authority and employment. You, as employer, are the principal. Moreover, a principal can be bound by unauthorized acts of the agent if they have ratified the unauthorized act.

Ultimately, the only way to know if this act by the agent--your employee--binds your business is to fully review the facts of this matter. If the act was unauthorized, one means to avoid obligation is to make an effective repudiation.

I would advise you contact an attorney shortly to determine this matter and to advise you on repudiation.
