(2) That on the true construction of the prescribed agency agreement the members' agents had agreed to underwrite on behalf of the Name at Lloyd's, and the fact that they delegated that task to the managing agents did not alter their implicit promise that reasonable care and skill would be exercised in carrying out that agreement; that the circumstances that the managing agents themselves were under a similar, though non-contractual, duty to the Name did not alter the obligations which the members' agents had agreed to assume by their bargain.
