Case Study – Mandatum – Roman Law

Description

In this episode of The World of Contracts, we explore the Roman mandatum contract, a fiduciary agreement where one party acts on behalf of another. Through a case study involving a landowner and his agent, we discuss the concept of fiduciary duty, the consequences of negligence, and the legal remedies available to a principal when their agent fails to fulfill their mandate. Discover how these ancient legal principles continue to influence modern agency law and the importance of trust and accountability in fiduciary relationships.
