On 1 November 1984, Mr Brown wrote to Mr Muthu that Mr Ah Kow was his agent and that Mr Ah Kow would be acting on his behalf in purchasing some goods on 1 January 1985 at RM100000. However, on 24 December 1984, Mr Muthu was informed by Mrs Brown that her husband passed away on 1 December 1984. On 26 December 1984, Mr Nolan offers Mr Muthu RM200000 for the same goods. Can Mr Muthu sell to Mr Nolan or is Mr Muthu bound to sell to Mr Ah Kow? State the legal implications.
