Abstract This commentary focuses on Article 2.2.10 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning termination of an agent's authority. Art 2.2.10 stipulates that termination of authority is not effective in relation to the third party unless the third party knew or ought to have known of it. Notwithstanding the termination of its authority, an agent remains authorised to perform the acts that are necessary to prevent harm to the principal's interests. This commentary discusses the grounds for termination of authority, termination of apparent authority vs actual authority, authority of necessity, and burden of proof with respect to termination of authority.
