On the other hand, can the seller go to P and demand for the
balance of the purchase price?
No. Only the agent is liable.
If P authorized A to buy from the seller and he gave A money, but
instead of paying the seller, A said he would pay within a week.
Can the seller go to P to demand payment?
Yes. Even if P only authorized A to buy in cash, this
instruction is only between P and A. Since the seller has
already given the thing, P is liable if A disclosed P.
Otherwise, only A is liable.
Here is P again, authorizing A to buy land from the seller. The seller
was the former boyfriend of the principal; the seller did not want to
sell to the principal. P told A not to tell the seller that I he was the
one buying. A agreed to buy from the seller. After receiving the
money, A disclosed to the seller that P was the one who bought the
land. Upon knowing this, the seller wanted not to sign the contract
despite receiving the money. There was no agreement as to who
should be named as party in the contract. The seller should sign
regardless of who the principal is.
