Solution

(a) A company, being an artificial person cannot act on its own. It acts through the Directors. They, therefore, resemble as agents of the company in the eyes of law. As agents, Directors can enter into contracts, sign agreements or contracts, carry on the business, and perform all the other duties on behalf of the company.

(b) As agents, they must act within the scope of their authority and in the name of the principal (i.e. the company). They would be personally liable if they enter into a contract in their own name or use the company’s name incorrectly or exceed the powers given to them by the Memorandum of Association or the Articles of Association.
