The Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regulations 1993 provide that an entitlement to (as appropriate:-) either an indemnity or compensation shall arise where the agency contract is terminated as a result of the death of the commercial agent.
Moreover, the estate may have other claims also, for example pursuant to Regulation 8 (i.e.:- to so-called “commissions in the pipeline”).
As always, there are very important time deadline factors to keep in mind, and so that anyone acting as a personal representative on behalf of the estate of a deceased agent should not delay in promptly seeking expert legal advice.
