Question 2

James Schoenberger interviewed for a position with the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). He talked with the person who would ultimately be his supervisor, Zu Christian, and was offered a salary of 19,300. Under CTA procedures, only the Placement Department could give final salary figures. When Placement's figure for Schoenberger was computed, it was lower, and Schoenberger sued for the higher figure. CTA claimed Zu Christian had no authority to offer a particular salary. Discuss the legal issues in the case from both CTA's and Schoenberger's perspectives.

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

In Schoenberger v. CTA, 405 N.E.2d 1076 (Ill 1980), the court held that there was no apparent authority for Zu Christian because Schoenberger had worked through Placement and had seen the centralized hiring procedures and that Zu Christian did not make the offer.
