Article 1892Obligations of the Agent

The agent may appoint a substitute if the

principal has not prohibited him from doing so; but he

shall be responsible for the acts of the substitute:

(1) When he was not given the power to appoint one;

(2) When he was given such power, but without

designating the person, and the person appointed was

notoriously incompetent or insolvent.

All acts of the substitute appointed against the
