Question

Moe has entered into a contract with Larry. Subsequently, Moe assigns his rights in that contract to Curley. Which of the following would not prevent that assignment?

Multiple choice. Which one is correct?

The contract contains an antiassignment clause.

The assignment would materially alter Larry's duties and cause an increased burden or risk to Larry.

Larry protests the assignment and demands that Moe not make the assignment.

The assignment would violate public policy matters.

Answer 1

Option C.

• Assignments refers to the actions of a person who has entered into a contract in which he transfers all his rights to another person who is not involved in the contract.
• Making assignments does not require any mutual agreements between the two people who have made the contract. Any assignment made by a person involved in the contract does not require the consent of the non assigning party.
• Hence, Larry cannot protest against the assignment and demand Moe against the assignment as Moe does not require Larry's consent for assigning his Rights to Curley.
