inferior agent

inferior agent
An ordinary agent or employee of a corporation, who acts in an inferior capacity, and under the direction of superior authority, both in regard to the extent of the work and the manner of its execution. Such an agent is to be distinguished from a managing agent who is invested with general power, involving the exercise of judgment and discretion. The distinction is made in reference to the statutes which have usually provided that service of process may be made on a foreign corporation by service upon its managing agent.
