Nondelegable obligation information


A nondelegable obligation (also known as a non-delegable duty) is a legal obligation or duty which cannot legally be delegated or, if delegated, the principal is still liable for said obligation.[1] They are also known as non-assignable duties or obligations.[2] These obligations cannot be delegated due to stipulations of public policy, statute, or common law. Nondelegation can also be written into a contract even when it otherwise would not apply. There are many types of automatically nondelegable obligations, including those involving trained professionals and those with a medical or fiduciary duty. Political duties are also often considered nondelegable. When an obligation is nondelegable, the obligee is entitled to specific performance by the obligor.
