Practice question
A lawful relief ordinance authorizes settlement only of interest, leaving principal intact. An implementing officer accepts a smaller principal as full settlement, concededly outside every authorized term. What is the defect?
- The implementation exceeds the scope of the granted relief
- Any authority to reduce interest necessarily authorizes cancellation of principal
- An officer may ignore all ordinance conditions
- Principal ceases to exist once any interest is waived
- Every compromise automatically overrides the ordinance
