“[A]n agency relationship results from the manifestation of consent by one person that another shall act on his behalf and subject to his control, with a correlative manifestation of consent by the other party to act on his behalf and subject to his control.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage“We have repeatedly held that a prerequisite of an agency is control of the agent by the principal. . . . . . . agency is a consensual relation between two persons created by law by which a principal has a right to control the conduct of the agent and the agent has a power to affect the legal relations of the principal. . . . Consent and control are the essential elements of an agency.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Bergin v. Thomas“It has been stated so often as to be elementary that this court will not substitute its view on disputed facts for those of the trier of the facts where its findings are sustained by substantial evidence.”
