Victor properly assigns his contract right with Seller to receive goods at his place of business to Amiee, whose place of business is out of the country. Both Victor and Seller live and do business in the same state. Victor has paid for the goods and notifies Seller of the assignment. But Seller refuses to ship the goods to Aimee since the shipping and insurance charges will be much more for an out-of-country shipment. When Aimee does not receive the goods, she sues Seller for breach of contract. The likely result of such a lawsuit will be:
Seller will prevail since assignees like Aimee cannot sue in their own name since the assignor must join the lawsuit.
Seller will prevail since the assignment will result in a material increase in the obligor's performance duties.
Aimee will win if the assignment was written and Aimee paid a fair price for the assignment.
Aimee will lose since contract assignments are typically prohibited by state statute.
