Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan
What is the definition of Power of attorney
I would like the full definition of ''Power of attorney.'' Under what
circumstances can it be denied? I am an advertising consultant,
specailizing in Yellow pages advertising. A business gave me the
power of attorney to handle their Yellow pages program. The
Telephone company refused to recognize it and insisted that the
advertiser only do business with a telephone company
representative. I lost a large consulting fee. I also feel the
Telephone Company interfered with my contractual relationship
with my client, thereby denying my right to earn a living.
2. What is the definition of ''Interference with a contractual
relationship?''
I await your answer.

Re: What is the definition of Power of attorney
There is so much litigation when it comes to Yellow Pages stuff, that I can understand the reluctance of the phone company to accept a mere power of attorney. A power of attorney grants a person the power to handle specific chores for a limited period of time. While your power of attorney is most likely valid, it does not mean it has to be accepted. Simply design the page and have everything ok'd by a company executive. Very simple. Why are you reluctant to do that? Bill Stern 248-353-9400
