2. According to the authorization of the client, the generally authorized agent can only exercise the general civil litigation rights on behalf of the parties, including the following contents: (1) suing and responding to the lawsuit on his behalf; (2) Acting as an agent to apply for litigation preservation or evidence preservation; (3) Apply for withdrawal, provide evidence to the court, expert witnesses and inspectors, request re-appraisal investigation or inspection, request mediation, and express agency opinions; (4) apply for execution; (5) Other matters that can be represented as agreed by both parties. Specially authorized agency means that the agent in a specially authorized agency can not only enjoy the litigation rights of general authorized agency, but also exercise the litigation rights involving the substantive interests of the parties such as reconciliation and appeal.
3. The authority of a specially authorized agent includes the following contents: (1) acknowledging part or all of the creditor's rights on behalf of the agent; (2) Abandoning, changing or increasing the representative's claim; (3) reconciliation; (4) counterclaim; (five) to file or apply for withdrawal of the complaint.
Four, the correct distinction between general authorized agents and special authorized agents is very important for accurately authorizing and safeguarding their own rights and interests. When concluding an agency contract with the parties, a law firm may accept one or all special agents in addition to the general agents. When dealing with authorized agents, we should pay attention to the following issues:
1. Specially authorized agents must have a clear authorization list. If the principal-agent contract only says "full authorization" and there is no specific authorization content, it is legally recognized as a general authorized agent;
2. Although the two kinds of authorization rights are completely decided by the parties themselves, no matter which kind of authorization, lawyers will try their best to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties in strict accordance with the law. For major issues, even lawyers with special authorization will not make decisions without authorization. They will make decisions with the consent of the parties.
3. According to the provisions of the Lawyers Law, in the process of hearing a case, if a party is dissatisfied with the hired lawyer, he may unilaterally terminate the employment contract. If the lawyer is at fault, the law firm shall refund all the lawyer service fees received in advance; Unless it is the fault of the lawyer, the lawyer's service fee will not be refunded.
