Practice question
An agency is the means of fulfilling an obligation already contracted. The principal invokes an unrestricted right of revocation, arguing that Article 1920 eliminates Article 1927. Which is correct?
- At-will revocation has no qualifications
- The principal can always defeat the underlying obligation by revocation
- Every agency is irrevocable merely because an agent is paid
- A notarial label alone makes every agency perpetual
- Article 1927 qualifies revocability in the stated obligation-fulfillment category; the general rule cannot simply erase that exception
