English translation of the principle

Apparent agency produces the same effects as actual agency as between the principal and third parties. The apparent agent, in dealing with third parties in the principal's name, is deemed his representative, and the effects of his transaction with third parties, in terms of rights and obligations, accrue to the principal as though it were an actual agency. The reason therefor. The conditions for its existence. Example.
Arabic original
الوكالة الظاهرة يترتب عليها ما يترتب على الوكالة الحقيقية فيما بين الموكل والغير. اعتبار الوكيل الظاهر في تعامله مع الغير باسم الموكل نائباً عنه وانصراف أثر تصرفه مع الغير من حقوق والتزامات إلى الموكل كما لو كانت وكالة حقيقية. علة ذلك. شروط تحققها. مثال.
