=S=> BGB 166. 1 Insofar as the legal consequences of a declaration of intent are influenced by an absence of intent or by knowledge or by constructive notice of certain circumstances , it is not the person of the principal , but that of the agent , that is taken into account .
=S=> BGB 166. 2 If , in the case of a power of agency granted by a legal transaction ( authority ) , the agent has acted in compliance with certain instructions given by the principal , then the latter may not invoke the lack of knowledge of the agent with regard to circumstances of which the principal himself knew . The same rule applies to circumstances which the principal ought to have known , insofar as constructive notice is equivalent to knowledge .
