Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a delegation, as Pierce is transferring his duties under the contract to Rachel. An assignment would involve transferring the rights, rather than the duties, under the contract to a third party. A third party beneficiary contract involves a third party receiving benefits under the contract, which is not the case here. Prohibitions are not relevant to this scenario.
