Key legal question
Whether the company was bound by the architect's apparent authority under Art. 33(3) CO.
Extracted holding
The company was not bound; the buyer failed to prove that the company had communicated representative authority, expressly or by conclusive conduct.
Extracted reasoning
The architect had authority for renovation and building-permit matters only, not for sale of the apartment. The lower court's finding that the company neither knew nor had to know of the alleged representation was binding and supported by non-arbitrary evidence.
