Question

Samantha, a famous artist, has a contract with Alec to paint his portrait for $6,000. Samantha is very busy and wants to delegate her duty to do the painting to Patty, her top student and a very talented artist. If Alec objects, a court likely will:____________
a. not honor the delegation because, as a general rule, delegations are not allowed.
b. not honor the delegation because the contract is based on personal skill.
c. honor the delegation because, as a general rule, delegations are allowed.
d. honor the delegation only if the delegation was in writing.

Answer 1

Answer: Not honor the delegation because the contract is based on personal skill.

Explanation:

The court would disregard the delegation, because the contract was signed based on Samantha's skill. Alec specifically signed a contract with Samantha to paint him because he knows her as a specialist, therefore the court would only honor that initial contract.
