A)Courts have had difficulty determining whether a principal gives limiting instructions and when he or she is merely giving advice.Going against advice does not impose liability on an agent,but violating a limiting instruction does.When Mark says that he does not think it is a good idea,he is merely giving advise and not a limiting instruction on Charlie's performance.Therefore,Charlie will not be liable to Mark.
