Mr$.$ Tom Splinter contracts to pay Leonardo $$10,000$ to paint his portrait.

Leonardo delegates his duties under the contract to Raphael.

Splinter shows up at Leonardo's studio for his first sitting for the portrait, and is shocked to find Raphael instead of Leonardo waiting for him. Splinter is familiar with Raphael's work, which is very different from Leonardo's.

Splinter immediately objects to the switch, insisting that Leonardo do the potrait. Leonardo refuses, claiming that Raphael's work is at least as good.

Will Splinter be in breach if he refuses to let Raphael do the work?

Select one:

a$.$ Yes, as duties to be performed under a contract are generally delegable.

b$.$ No$,$ as duties to be performed under a contract are generally not delegable.

c$.$ Yes, because where a contract calls for the performance of a personal services with a particular skill, those services normally may not be delegated.

d$.$ No$,$ as this was a personal service contract by a person with particular skills $($Leonardo$).$
