Center v. Wallace, Saunders, et al., Chtd. 23 Kan. App.
Actual notice includes both express and implied notice.
Express notice includes all knowledge or information coming to the party to be charged or which imposes upon him or her the further duty of inquiry. Implied notice imputes knowledge to the party because he or she is shown to be conscious of having the means of knowledge, though he or she does not use them. Whether or not the fact of an agency and the name of the principal were disclosed or known to a third party so as to protect the agent from personal liability on the transaction is essentially a question of fact which depends upon the circumstances surrounding a particular transaction. Where recovery is sought for services rendered, and the amount of compensation is uncertain, the doctrine of quantum meruit is applicable if a misunderstanding exists as to the amount of compensation and neither party succeeds in establishing his or her version with the court, the law rejects the understanding of each and awards reasonable compensation. If there is no agreement fixing compensation for services rendered or if recovery is sought on the basis of quantum meruit, any evidence tending to show the reasonable value of the services rendered by a broker or an agent is admissible.
