Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mrs. Reid contracted with Silversteps Ltd. to have her front steps replaced, and it was Silversteps' responsibility to ensure that the work was done properly. As such, Mrs. Reid's only recourse would be to sue Silversteps Ltd. for breach of contract. Even if Warren was responsible for the faulty work, as an employee of Silversteps Ltd., his actions would be considered the actions of the company. None of the other options accurately reflect the situation.
