Brittany was out performing her duties at a job site for the company she works for, when out of nowhere a giant steel beam fell which caused major damage and injuries. She frantically tried to contact her supervisor, but was not able to get a hold of her. Does she have the authority to act outside of her duties as an agent and contract with a 3rd party to address the clean up and the injured?
1) Yes, this is an emergency situation
2) No, since she does not have the authority to make these decisions or make contracts like the ones she made, she was acting outside the scope of her job
3) Yes, but only because someone was injured
4) No, agents don't have the authority to act in emergency situations
