Employment contract for large sum of money

Reference no: EM1319782

Walker Meeks is currently a party to two contracts. On the first contract, he has agreed to paint a portrait of a gentleman riding a horse. This portrait is for the wall of the gentleman's study. The gentleman chose Meeks for his realism in portraying the true feelings behind portrait models. Meeks' second contract is to paint the house of Sylvia Sneed.

Meeks is offered an employment contract for a large sum of money. He wishes to accept, but this would render him unable to complete the aforementioned contracts. Meeks delegates the painting of the portrait to his friend Bob, an impressionist, and delegates the painting of Sylvia's home to Ted, a professional house painter.

Neither the gentleman nor Sylvia intends to allow the delegation to occur. Comment on the probable outcome of the dispute.
