Consider a legal client (the principal) wondering whether their lawyer (the agent) is recommending protracted legal proceedings because it is truly necessary for the client's well being, or because it will generate income for the lawyer.
Kaaluge olukorda, kus juriidiline klient (printsipaal) soovib teada, kas tema advokaat (agent) soovitab pikale venivat kohtumenetlust, sest see on tõepoolest vajalik kliendi heaolu jaoks või kuna see toob juristile kasu.
