Article 1883Nature, Form and Kinds of Agency

If an agent acts in his own name, the

principal has no right of action against the persons with

whom the agent has contracted; neither have such

persons against the principal.

In such case the agent is the one directly bound in favor

of the person with whom he has contracted, as if the

transaction were his own, except when the contract

involves things belonging to the principal.

The provisions of this article shall be understood to be

without prejudice to the actions between the principal

and agent. (1717)
