Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assignments of personal rights are not allowed because they pertain to the skills, experiences, or reputation of the obligor and cannot be transferred to another person. This includes the rights to receive personal services or the right to sue for defamation.

Answer: C 
 Assignments may be prohibited by statute or public policy. For example, assignments that violate antitrust laws, violate public policy or are illegal, such as assignments of lottery winnings, may not be permitted.

Answer: E 
 Contracts based on the assignee's performance are generally not assignable. These contracts involve a personal relationship between the parties, such as a contract for a personal service or a contract requiring special skills or expertise.

Therefore, options A and D are incorrect because assignments are allowed in these scenarios, depending on the terms of the contract and applicable laws.
