[69] An oft-cited definition of agency comes from Gerald Fridman, in Canadian Agency Law, 2d ed. (Markham: LexisNexis, 2012), at p. 4:
Agency is the relationship that exists between two persons when one, called the agent, is considered in law to represent the other, called the principal, in such a way as to be able to affect the principal’s legal position by the making of contracts or the disposition of property.
