Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A delegation occurs when a party transfers their duties or obligations under a contract to another party. In this case, Edmond is transferring his duties to Ferdie for the closing of the sale, which is considered a delegation. An assignment, on the other hand, involves transferring a party's rights under a contract to another party, which is not the case here. Prohibition and negotiation are not relevant options in this scenario.
