(b) the company, acting under paragraph (a) has represented to the officer or agent as having the authority of the company to act in the matter, in which event the company is civilly liable to a person who has entered into the transaction in reliance on that representation, unless that person had actual knowledge that the officer or agent did not have the authority, or unless, having regard to the position with, or relationship to, the company, that per- son ought to have known of the absence of authority.
