CCQ-1991 - Civil Code of Québec

Full text
2165. A mandator, after disclosing to a third person the mandate he had given, may take action directly against the third person for the performance of the obligations contracted by that person towards the mandatary who had acted in his own name. However, the third person may plead the inconsistency of the mandate with the stipulations or nature of his contract, as well as the defenses which can be set up against the mandator and the mandatary respectively.
If proceedings have already been instituted against the third person by the mandatary, the mandator may exercise his right only by intervening in the proceedings.
