1) DD Development can be identified as several possibilities with the information stated. The
company could be a sole proprietorship in which Mr. D is the sole proprietor. The company can
also be identified as a partnership, where Mr. D is a partner or agent.

It can also be recognized as a loose association (such as a share-office arrangement). DD

Development in this case would be the name listed in a directory list but Mr. D works at the
office as a professional. He would be sharing the office space with other professionals. Finally, it
could be recognized as a joint venture in which there are multiple entities aiming to purchase
land and create some sort of business.

2) The scenario in which Mr. D is the sole proprietor, he has 100% authority to sign contracts. In the
case where he is a partner, he has the authority to sign the contract if there are no other
stipulations that could stop him from signing. An example of a stipulation would be that the
partnership requires all partners to agree to a contract before signing.

Since Ms. A is part of a corporation and would have the right to sign the contract. She has to be
an agent of the corporation with actual or apparent authority. An example would be the
President of ABC Engineering Inc.

3) Mr. E has full right for compensation from his employer ABC Engineering Inc. The corporation
might have unintentionally neglected Mr. Es safety and well-being. In the case that Mr E. is an
independent contractor, he has no ability to claim compensation from ABC Engineering Inc.

Since DD Development is the owner of the property and this is where the accident occurred, Mr.
E has the right to sue them. In the case that DD Development is a sole proprietorship, Mr. E
would be suing Mr. D.

4) If DD Development is a sole proprietorship, Mr. D will be personally liable. If DD Development is

a partnership, specifically an LLP, Mr. D will be personally liable. He will be liable for all charges
and penalties that follow.

Since ABC Engineering Inc. is a corporation, Ms. A is not liable. She was an acting agent for the
corporation and this protects her (corporate veil). Under unique conditions Ms. A can incur
damages, debt, etc.
