Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The doctrine of vicarious performance typically applies when a party to a contract authorizes a third party to perform contractual duties on its behalf. However, unless the contract specifically allows for substitution or the parties agree to the substitution after the fact, the Limestone Student Society is not legally obligated to accept the substitute performance.
