an assignment question..

[tanvicky]

Early in the morning, on 7th of August 2007, Nathan was instructed by his employer to send 100 boxes of vegetables from Banting, Selangor to his customer who owns a shop in Pekan, Pahang. The lorry he was driving broke down near Kampung Dagong. He tried to contact his employer, but there was no telecommunication coverage in that area. There was a lorry driver who stopped and helped Nathan to repair his lorry. Due to time constraint, Nathan sold all the vegetables to the villagers at half the price. After that Nathan returned to Banting and gave the money to his employer. His employer got angry and claimed damages from Nathan because he felt that he is not bound by Nathan's act.

Thank you for being honest about the fact that this is homework. However, we don't do homework. And even if we did, this board is limited to US questions and both the contents of your post and your IP address suggest that this is Malaysia.

Your account will be watched for potential spamming. Thank you.

While you might want to look at the doctrine of "respondeat superior" for a hint, that's US law. Even if we'd help with homework assignments, it seems as though this may deal with law outside of the US which many of us are not familiar and can vary. My experience is mostly US, UK and EU. This seems to fall outside of those geographic regions. Good luck!
