MADDE 507 · b. İşin üçüncü kişiye gördürülmesi hâlinde

Vekil, yetkisi dışına çıkarak işi başkasına gördürdüğünde, onun fiilinden kendisi yapmış gibi sorumludur.

Vekil başkasına vekâlet vermeye yetkili ise, sadece seçmede ve talimat vermede gerekli özeni göstermekle yükümlüdür.

Vekâlet veren, her iki durumda da vekilin kendi yerine koyduğu kişiye karşı sahip olduğu hakları, doğrudan doğruya o kişiye karşı ileri sürebilir.
