Section 1: Commission agents in general.

A commission agent is one who acts in his own name or under a corporate name on behalf of a principal. The duties and rights of a commission agent acting on behalf of a principal are determined by the Title XIII of Book III of the Civil Code.

The commission agent has a lien on the value of the goods which are the subject of his obligation and on the documents relating thereto for all his claims for commission against his principal, even if arising in connection with earlier transactions. The commission agent’s lien claim includes, together with the principal, interest, commission and incidental costs.
