‘In order for a contract to be enforceable against a business, the person who entered into it on business’ behalf must have had the requisite authority to do so. In reality, a wide range of people often have the authority to enter into contracts on behalf of businesses, but for the purposes of this article I will simply refer to the person seeking to enter into a contract on behalf of the business as ‘the employee’.’
