Answer to Question 1

As a general rule, a party's rights under a contract may be assigned to another who is not a party to the original undertaking. One's rights under a contract may be transferred almost as freely as property and notice need not be given to the other party in order to make the assignment effective between the assignor and the assignee. A delegation describes a transfer to the duties alone without a transfer of rights. Neither party can delegate the duties under a contract as readily as the rights can be assigned, because a personal element more frequently exists in the performance aspect of a contract. In many cases, it would change the obligation thereof if another were to perform it. In those contracts that involve taste, trust and confidence, such as legal representation, one may not delegate the duties. Only when the performance is standardized may one delegate its performance to another.
