Commercial Agents Regulations 1993
The Regulations implement EC Directive (86/653/EEC) relating to self-employed commercial agents, the aim of which was to harmonise the laws of Member States and to strengthen the position of commercial agents in relation to their principals.
The Regulations lay down the minimum requirements of a contract between an agent and principal, for example, minimum periods of notice, when commission is due and the right to claim compensation on the termination of the contract.

Enquirers with questions on the legal interpretation of the Regulations and/or whether they might apply to a specific situation are strongly advised to seek advice from Solicitors who are knowledgeable of Commercial Agent law.
