Liability to Desean for non performance of the contract may be imposed on BERRY AND CUISINE CATERING.
Berry is required by the law to perform the duties in the contract agreement, failure to do this will creates liability for Berry and in that case, both Berry and Cuisine catering will be liable, because Berry had said that she is working on behalf of Cusine catering, thus, Cusine catering is already a part of the contract.
That sounds about right for accounting anyway
