question 242

Multiple Choice

Clark, a movie producer, was allowed to work at a movie production company's offices (ITC) out of courtesy. His business card listed the ITC address and his phone calls were handled by ITC staff. In the office, he made a deal to produce a movie for another company. When problems developed and the company, presuming Clark worked for ITC, sued ITC. The court would be likely to hold that ITC:

• A) ratified Clark's actions and so became liable for his actions
• B) expressly accepted contracts negotiated by Clark, so was liable for the failure to perform
• C) had no liability because Clark merely was allowed to use office space at ITC
• D) had no liability because Clark had no authority to represent ITC in movie decisions
• E) none of the other choices
