question 43

True/False

Greg, Mike, and Charlie carry on business in partnership as "tree surgeons." Serena contacted Greg and arranged to have a large tree removed from her front yard on a Saturday morning. Greg arrived, and cut the tree in such a way that it fell on Serena's house, causing considerable damage. If the partnership is held liable for Serena's loss, Mike and Charlie would be entitled to recover the loss from Greg, because Greg was careless in doing the work.
