An injured third party has the right to recover the full amount of her damages from one, some, or all of those who caused her harm.
Consider the following scenario:
Betsey has a two-year contract as a producer at Jackson Movie Studios. She produces a remake of the movie Footloose. Unfortunately, it bombs, and her boss Jackson is so furious that he fires her on the weekend the movie opens.

2. How do third party considerations create a more complex contract?
3. What would be different if only the agent and principal were parties to the contract?
