We repeat these answers here as a convenience to you.\n1A.\t\tWhat is an assignment? What is the difference between an assignment and a delegation? The transfer of contract rights to a third person is an assignment. The transfer of contract duties is a delegation. When rights are assigned unconditionally, the rights of the assignor are extinguished, and the assignee can demand per\u001fformanc\u001fe from the obligor. Normally, a delegation of duties does not relieve the delegator of the obligation to perform if the delegatee fails to do so.\n2A.\t\tWhat rights can be assigned despite a contract clause expressly prohibiting assignment? A contract cannot prevent an assignment of the right to receive money. The as\u001fsignment of ownership rights in real estate may not be prohibited because it is contrary to public policy in most states. The assignment of negotiable instru\u001fments cannot be prohibited. In a contract for a sale of goods, the right to receive damages for breach or for payment of an account owed may be assigned even if the contract prohibits it.\n3A.\t\tIn what situations is the delegation of duties prohibited? Delegation of duties is prohibited in the following situations.\n1.\tWhen the performance depends on the personal skill or talents of the obligor.\n2.\tWhen special trust has been placed in the obligor.\n3.\tWhen performance by a third party will vary materially from that expected by the obligee under the contract.\n4.\tWhen the contract expressly prohibits delegation.\n4A.\t\tWhat factors indicate that a third party beneficiary is an intended beneficiary? A beneficiary will be considered an intended beneficiary if a reasonable person in the position of the beneficiary would believe that the promisee intended to con\u001ffer on the beneficiary the right to bring suit to enforce the contract. Other factors include whether performance is rendered directly to the third party, whether the third party has the right to control the details of performance, and whether the third party is expressly designated as a beneficiary in the contract.\nAnswers to Critical Thinking Questions\nin the Cases\nCase 18.1—Critical Thinking—Legal Consideration\nDo borrowers benefit from the fact that lenders may freely assign their rights under loan agreements? If so, how?  Borrowers certainly benefit when lenders can freely assign their rights under loan agreements. Although a borrower may be inconvenienced by having to pay a new party, a lender will likely find a loan agreement more attractive if it can later assign its rights. If a lender finds the transaction more attractive, it is more likely to provide the loan; that certainly benefits the borrower.\nCase 18.2—Critical Thinking—Economic Consideration\nThe repairs to the bus cost $1,341.50.  Who should pay this amount?  Why? In the negotiations between Cipriani and Allie for the sale of the bus, the parties presumably offset the unpaid cost of the repairs against the market value of the bus to arrive at their agreed-on price. But in the course of the litigation among these parties and Bass-Fineberg, the trial court apparently did not consider the cost of the repairs to have been paid. Cipriani, who had defaulted on the cost for the repairs and the lease payments, was not likely to be able to make those payments. The court held that Bass-Fineberg should pay the amount of this cost to BVIP, and included this figure in the award of the refund to that defendant. The appellate court upheld this award.\nCase 18.3—Critical Thinking—Social Consideration\nWould the assignments in this case have been valid if Gold had not notified Ziff? Why or why not? Yes. To be valid, notice of an assignment does not have to be given to the obligor (Ziff, in this case).
