delegation of duties

Read a random definition: derivative settlement

A quick definition of delegation of duties:

Delegation of Duties: When someone gives their job or responsibilities to someone else to do for them. This happens when two people make an agreement, and one person asks another person to do their part of the agreement for them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Delegation of duties refers to a situation where a person who is a party to a contract arranges for another person to perform their contractual duties.

Example: Let's say that John has a contract with Jane to paint her house. However, John is unable to complete the job due to unforeseen circumstances. In this case, John can delegate his duties to another painter, such as Mike, who will complete the job on John's behalf.

Explanation: The example illustrates how delegation of duties works in a contract. John, who is a party to the contract, arranges for Mike to perform his contractual duties of painting Jane's house. This means that Mike will be responsible for completing the job and fulfilling the terms of the contract, instead of John.
