THE PRACTICE KNOWN AS INDIRECT REPRESENTATION

Abstract

This paper voices some reflections on the possibilities, in established thought and in practice, of what has come to be known as indirect representation. The conclusion is that indirect representations is a practice that should be quashed, although it is recognized as sometimes being an advantageous means of keeping the principal party or person concerned in a business dealing concealed. This demand, it is suggested, should be satisfied using contracts for as-yet unnamed nominees, which accomplish the same purpose as indirect representation without any of the theoretical or practical drawbacks.
