Question

Renee contracts with Scott to pay him $25,000 for his work on Renee’s new album "Hip Pop." After Scott performs, they sign an accord, in which Renee promises to pay him $21,000 within thirty days instead of $25,000 later. But she does not pay.
Scott can sue Renee on:

A) the accord only.
B) the original obligation only.
C) the accord or the original obligation.
D) neither the accord nor the original obligation

Answer 1

Answer:

C) the accord or the original obligation.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that Scott can sue Renee on the accord or the original obligation. This is mainly due to the fact that Renee did not pay the newer arrangement within the three days, and therefore owes Scott the total amount of $25,000 as was agreed by both in the original contract, but since Scott also agreed on the $21,000 he can decide which he would want to sue for.
