Practice question: Obligations of the Agent and of the Principal

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

Principal permits appointment without designating the substitute. Agent selects a notoriously incompetent substitute and 1892(2) applies. Does general permission alone remove the specified agent responsibility?
  1. Yes; any permission gives unlimited immunity.
  2. Only the substitute’s favorite price matters.
  3. Principal must accept every selection without remedy.
  4. No; the stated selection responsibility remains.
  5. The rule never concerns competence.
