Experts have different views regarding whether agency by estoppl is stipulated in our General Principles of Civil Law. Though this agency system is included in the Contract Law, some important issues concerning its essence, constitutive requirements and effect are still in dispute. Author in this dissertation, by utilizing historical, comparative and economic researching methods, developed his own views after surveying the legislation and judicial practices of agency by estoppel home and abroad. This dissertation is composed of seven parts besides preface and conclusion, approximately 77,000 words.Part Ⅰ, Brief account of agency by estoppel.
