Agent And Surety
Is it lawful for an agent to be a surety as well?
If the contract of agency is inclusive of both delivering goods and collecting the money paid for them, it will be lawful for the agent to be a surety as well. If the contract is limited to transacting, with no agency to collect payments on behalf of the principal, then it will be unlawful for the agent to act as both agent and surety.
