Contract Assignment And Delegation

Summary

Courts generally do not favor limiting the right of assignment unless justified. An assignment transfers rights, while a delegation transfers duties. Privity exists when legal rights are measured similarly. Performance is tendered to the assignee after assignment. In a novation, both rights and duties survive. An acceptance should be drafted for the assignee. Duties cannot be delegated over the original promisor’s objection. Personal or professional service contracts may be nonassignable, and personal duties cannot be freely delegated.
