Andrew and Ben were partners who owned a steak house. Andrew was quite keen to enlarge the business premises to accommodate more customers. Ben was opposed to it and said that they could not afford it. Andrew then contracted with Carol, an architect, to draw plans for the extension of the steak house. Carol did so and submitted an account for R10 000 for her professional services. Ben refuses to authorise payment and states that Andrew never had authority to contract with Carol.Required:Discuss whether the partnership is liable to pay Carol. (10 marks)
