Question

State law requires all electricians to be licensed. Ted is not licensed, but has been doing electrical work with his family business for five years. Despite Robin knowing Ted is unlicensed, she hires Ted to fix the electrical at her home for $5,000. When Ted completes the electrical project, Robin refuses payment. Will she have to pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes, Robin would need to pay because she knew that Ted was not licensed and still decided to hire him. Therefore, agreeing to contract Ted and pay him for the work that he has done. Regardless of whether or not Ted's job was legal or not Robin still agreed and must pay Ted. Ted will later have to deal with his own legal issues but that does not affect the contract that was agreed upon by both parties.
