The rights of commercial agents, regulated in the Commercial Code under paragraphs 84-92, define the legal relationships of the commercial status of agents. The content mainly consists of protective provisions for commercial agents to safeguard the economically weaker market participants against the predominantly stronger factor providers. With the new edition of the first volume of this standard work on distribution law, originally established in 1961 by attorney Dr. Wolfram Küstner, the complete work (including Volume 2: The Compensation Claim of the Commercial Agent and Volume 3: Special Forms of Distribution) is now fully updated and presented in a new design. This handbook presents the subject matter in an easily understandable and particularly clear manner. It initially addresses delimitation issues and types of commercial agents, followed by the rights and obligations of the commercial agent and the entrepreneur.
