| "It is a basic axiom in civil law embodied in our Civil Code that no one may contract in the name of another without being authorized by the latter, or unless he has by law a right to represent him. A contract entered into in the name of another by one who has no authority or legal representation, or who has acted beyond his powers, shall be unenforceable, unless it is ratified, expressly or impliedly, by the person on whose behalf it has been executed, before it is revoked by the other contracting party."[27] Considering that the sale was executed by an agent whose authority, be it actual or apparent, had been revoked, the transaction is unenforceable pursuant to Article 1317 and 1403(1) of the Civil Code which read:Article 1317. No one may contract in the name of another without being authorized by the latter, or unless he has by law a right to represent him. | |||||
