التعبير عن الإرادة. قيامه بمجرد صدوره عن صاحبه. متى يحدث أثره: باتصاله بعلم من وجه إليه. - مرض الموكل وإن اشتد. لا يُعد سبباً لانتهاء الوكالة قانوناً. استمرار أثر الإعفاء استصحاباً للحال. فقد أحد طرفي العقد لأهليته فقداً عارضاً مؤقتاً. لا تنتهي به الوكالة. العبرة بالفقد الدائم الذي تستقر به المراكز القانونية. تقدير ذلك موضوعي.
