Patty owes samantha $5,000 under a contract for maid services that samantha performed. samantha owes her landlord, alec, $6,000 in rent. samantha wants to assign to alec the right to receive the $5,000 from patty, but the contract between patty and samantha contains a clause prohibiting its assignment. if samantha assigns the rights anyway, a court will most likely
a. not honor the clause because if honored, it would be a restraint upon alienation.
b. not honor the clause prohibiting assignment because a contract cannot prevent assignment for one to receive monetary payments.
c. honor the clause prohibiting assignment only if the assignment was in writing.
d. honor the clause prohibiting assignment because as a general rule, assignments are forbidden when a clause against it exists in the contract.
