Judgement for the case First Energy v Hungarian Bank

X was a “Senior Manager” of a bank in Manchester, arranging finance for D. D knew that X had no actual authority to agree to such an agreement. X sent D a letter which was interpreted as offer of a loan which had been authorised by people more senior than him. C sought to repudiate contract. Held:
 
·     X had ostensible authority to communicate to D that loan had been granted.
·     Thus contract was binding.
