Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Order III, rule 2(b) applies to a person carrying on trade or business for and in the name of a party who is not resident within the local limits of the court's jurisdiction, where no other agent is expressly authorised.

The authority under this clause covers matters connected with that trade or business.

Option feedback

Option A

Employment alone does not satisfy rule 2(b). The matter must be connected with the trade.

Option B

Rule 2(b) requires a connection with the trade carried on for the party.

Option C

An appearance as a witness does not establish status as a recognised agent under this rule.

Option D

The trade or business agent can act under rule 2(b) in matters connected with that trade or business.
