Who is responsible for the execution of duties under a mandate?

The agent is responsible for the execution of duties under a mandate. In the context of a mandate, the agent is appointed by the principal to act on their behalf, carrying out specific tasks or actions as instructed. This relationship is guided by the principles of agency law, where the agent has the authority to perform duties and make decisions within the scope defined by the principal.

The principal is the person who grants the authority but is not involved in the day-to-day execution of the duties. The notary and the clerk serve different roles, primarily associated with witnessing and certifying documents or administering oaths rather than executing responsibilities under a mandate. Thus, the agent’s role is central to fulfilling the obligations outlined in the mandate, emphasizing their responsibility for action and decision-making in the interest of the principal.
