cause Paul's yard is very small while gma's yard is over an acre. Which of the following is the correct legal outcome for the dispute between Sally and Paul? A. Sally will win because Paul's attempted assignment would increase the duties to which she agreed
B. Sally will win because all assignments are invalid without the obligor's consent
C. Sally will win unless Paul paid her the $300 in advance in which case Paul will win
D. Paul will win because he may validly assign the contract without Sally's consent
A. Sally will win because Paul's attempted assignment would increase the duties to which she agreed.
Explanation:
Sally will win because having agreed to mow Paul's yard (which is smaller) for $300, Paul is trying to increase her duties while maintaining the same price agreed for his small yard.
If the yards were of comparable size Paul will have a chance of winning.
The compromise that could work is if Paul offers to pay Sally a proportional amount (based on the original rate) for the mowing of his grandmother's yard.
