Questão jurídica principal
Whether the 2 March 1998 fax order bound Y. Sàrl through representation or another legal basis.
Decisão extraída
The supplier failed to prove that A. authored the fax; the situation was not one of representation but of unauthorized intervention. Y. Sàrl became bound because its silence after invoice and delivery amounted to ratification under Art. 424 CO.
Fundamentação extraída
No effect of representation arises where an unknown person merely usurps another's identity. The first delivery was kept in the defendant's premises, the invoice was received, and the defendant did not promptly object, so ratification could be inferred from objective trust.
