This problem is based on agency by estoppel.
In this case it is apparent Thuku represented Chuma as his agent and Harry subsequently
dealt with Chuma as Thukus agent. Thuku cannot be heard to say that Chuma was not his
agent. He is estopped from so denying and is liable. My advise to Thuku is that he is liable
to Harry.
My advise is based on the decision in Freemans case.
