Practice question
A company hires a craftsperson to execute a particular piece of work for an agreed certain price. The agreement creates no authority to represent the company and no principal-agent relationship. A party insists it cannot fall under lease because no land is rented. Which conclusion follows from Articles 1642 and 1644?
- Only land can be leased.
- The Code recognizes lease of work or service, so the absence of rented land does not defeat that classification on these facts.
- Every paid craftsperson automatically becomes an agent.
- The agreed work must be a donation.
- The absence of land makes every obligation void.
