One important distinction between assignments and delegations involves the rights of the transferring party-the assignor or the delegator.In assignments,after the assignment is made,the assignor has no right left to the original contract.Conversely,with delegations,the delegator is not relieved of his duty to perform by making a delegation.If the delegatee fails to fulfill the contract,the delegator is still liable to the obligee for fulfillment of the contract.
