Practice question
Two officers are respondents. Only one signs an enforceable personal solidary undertaking covering a specified dismissal award. The other neither signs nor authorizes a personal undertaking, and no separate basis against that officer is proved. Which is best?
- Apply the undertaking to its actual obligor and scope; do not automatically impose it on the other officer.
- One officer’s personal promise necessarily binds every officer personally.
- All corporate officers are a single natural person.
- A personal agreement eliminates the need to identify its parties.
- The undertaking automatically binds former employees too.
