Practice question: Liability of Corporate Officers; Exceptions

Multiple Choice Medium Jurisprudence

Practice question

A manager signs a termination notice expressly for the corporation, without any personal payment promise. No applicable exception is otherwise established. An employee invokes only the signature as a contractual guarantee of the award. Which is sound?
  1. Every termination signature is a personal guarantee.
  2. The signature automatically binds all relatives.
  3. Representative wording must always be disregarded.
  4. Any corporate paper makes every employee a co-debtor.
  5. The representative signature alone does not establish the claimed personal solidary agreement.
