DVORACEK v. GILLIES
Court of Appeals of Minnesota (1985) | 363 N.W.2d 99
TL;DR: A tenant claimed he renewed his lease by giving notice to his landlord's employee. The court held that the employee's authority to accept the notice was a jury question, based on the parties' prior course of dealing in accepting rent checks.
Legal Significance: Establishes that an employee's authority to receive legally significant notices for a principal can be implied from a prior course of dealing, creating a question of fact for the jury regarding apparent or implied authority.
