This legal term article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. Legalese is fascinating. Whatever the word is, it means something different from it's English meaning.

So, if I am at the 7-11 and I buy a pack of cigarettes, am I an agent, or am I the principal? I know if I am buying it for someone else, I am an agent. But if I am buying it for myself, am I the principal? Or, can I be both the agent and principal simultaneously, while only presenting one role to the court? The clerk who is selling it to me is an agent for his employer. I presume the employer is the principal in the sale.

Or is everything done anonymously? Please explain. I know you are trying to make a point Palani.
