Explanation
Prima facie evidence is evidence that, at first impression (on its face), is sufficient to establish a fact or relationship unless contradicted or rebutted. In agency law, a written agency agreement signed by both parties typically provides prima facie evidence of the agency relationship and its terms. Courts may look beyond the writing if there is contradictory evidence.
