Answer 1

Answer 20. : C. B as delegatee can only assert a defence against A in the event of Breach.

There is a contract between A & B. A just arrange the transfer to C, there is no contractual agreement so C will not stands in shoes for A.

Answer 21: If B hadn't received the notice of assignment to C prior to cutting A's grass, B's obligation has been discharged.

If there will be any change in the contract then B should get noticed before he started to cut the A's grass. If he hadn't received any notice then B's obligation has been discharged and he has no obligation to cut the C's grass.

Answer 22: If C fails to perform, B can sue A for breach of contract.

A and B has a contractual arrangement. After that A assigned the job to C as an arrangement so C has no any legal obligation to B. So in case of breach of contract, the liable party will be A only so B can sue A for breach of contract if C fails to perform.

Answer 23: A remains liable, if C fails to perform or perform poorly.

Same explanation as Answer 22.
