Reference - High Maintenance

Question 93

Multiple Choice

Reference - High Maintenance. Paul, who runs a retail jewelry store, went with Jane, to whom he was engaged to be married, to a wholesale jewelry store. Paul had no express, written agreement with Jane by which she was his agent. In fact, Paul had told Jane not to buy anything at the store. The wholesale jeweler, Pam, asked Paul if Jane was buying for him. Paul did not want to embarrass Jane so he nodded in agreement. A few minutes later Paul reminded Jane, outside the hearing of the wholesaler, that she should not make any purchases. Paul and Jane had a big disagreement over money that evening, and Jane broke off their engagement. The next day Jane went back to the wholesale jeweler and purchased a string of pearls for $2,000. Jane also purchased a fur jacket for $3,000 from a store owned by Harry that was next door to the jewelry store. She told Harry that Paul wanted a fur jacket for a model in his store and that Paul would be glad to pay Harry for the jacket. What type of agency, if any, did Jane have to act on behalf of Paul as far as Pam is concerned?


A) No type of agency was in effect because no written agreement was in place by which Jane was Paul's agent.
B) No type of agency was in effect because, in fact, Jane was not Paul's agent.
C) An express agency.
D) An implied agency.
