In terms Why Wait, we established it as a partnership. Cheers engaged a partner of whywait who saw that they were partners together. He knew they were in some kind of saw agreement together , saw the agreement, unclear in terms of what it said. Nevertheless, he did some work on the mandate of cheers of $45000, and cheers forged the signature and left the country. He is out of the country and out of the picture. Whywait hasnt been paid and they dont want to pay him. Question is were they liable? Well we go through the process to establish they are a partnership and they are mutual agent. So you have the power to bind them so therefore they are responsible. Had it been the joint venture, then Whywait would've lost that because the davison would not of been part of the contract. Going through relevant provisions. Why wait acted honestly, he didnt know , had no reason to think that cheer wasnt a partner therefore the davidson became liable for the debt that cheer incurred
