合同与履行第 837 / 1605 题
Which type of contractual duty is generally NOT delegable to another party without the other party's consent?
a.A routine duty to deliver standard lumber
b.A duty to haul away debris
c.A duty involving unique personal skills, taste, or special trust (a personal-service obligation)
d.A duty to pay a fixed sum of money
解析
Duties that depend on a party's unique personal skills, artistic taste, or special relationship of trust generally cannot be delegated without consent, because the other party bargained specifically for that individual's performance. Routine, non-personal duties, like delivering fungible lumber, hauling debris, or paying money, are ordinarily delegable because it does not matter who performs them. Personal-service obligations are the classic exception to the general rule permitting delegation.
