California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 4 — Obligations Arising from Particular Transactions, Title 2.95 — Auctioneer and Auction Companies, Section 1812.606
Every auctioneer who operates his or her own auction company as a sole proprietor, and every auction company, together with its owners, partners, and officers, that employs an auctioneer, shall be responsible for all violations committed by the auctioneer or by any company employee in the conduct of auction business. An auctioneer who is employed by an auctioneer or auction company shall be responsible for all violations committed by him or her in the conduct of auction business.
It is a violation of this title for any auctioneer or auction company, or the company’s owners, partners, and officers, to direct or knowingly permit any violation of this title by any auctioneer employed by or under contract with that auctioneer or auction company, or by any owner, partner, officer, agent, or employee of the auction company.
Notes
Establishes responsibility for auction-business violations: a sole-proprietor auctioneer and an auction company with its owners, partners, and officers are responsible for violations by auctioneers or company employees, while an employed auctioneer is responsible for that auctioneer's own violations. Prohibits auction businesses and listed principals from directing or knowingly permitting title violations by covered personnel.
