Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Delegation occurs when a party to a contract transfers their duties to a third party. In this case, Faye is transferring her duty to provide catering to Gudren, while still remaining responsible for the obligation under the contract with Equity. Therefore, this situation is considered a delegation. Assignment involves the transfer of rights under a contract, not duties. A third-party beneficiary contract involves a contract where a third party benefits from the performance of the contract, which is not applicable in this scenario. There is no indication that this transfer of duties is prohibited by law.
