Where an agent contracts without disclosing that he is an agent, many problems arise. Generally the principal or the agent may sue or be sued. However, if the third party had reason to believe that he was dealing with the agent as principal and that this was a relevant fact. only the agent may sue on the contract: if A will not contract with B, B cannot evade this by contracting through C, an undisclosed agent. Where the third party may sue principal or agent, he must make a decision and cannot sue both.
