Abstract

The commercial agency is one of the important commercial contracts on both internal and external levels, to provide the opportunity for any merchant or producer to look for someone to act on behalf of him in relation to marketing products, as the merchant may have no adequate about needs of consumers. So the need for the commercial agent emerged to do business instead of the principal, so this was regulated by the Commercial Agency Organization Law No. 79 of 2017, and the previous repealed laws such as Law No. 51 of 2000. Through reviewing previous and effective laws and some comparative laws, the concept of commercial agency and its characteristics were identified and distinguished from civil agency, and its termination and its general and specific legal effects, as well as an explanation of the concept of a commercial agent and the conditions that must be met therein.
