Joseph, an agent to ben, contracted Musa to purchase a second- hand lorry for Ben. Joseph did not disclose to Musa that he was acting as an agent. When the vehicle was delivered to Joseph, he refused to take delivery, claiming that Ben, his principal, had said that the price is too high. Musa sued both Joseph and Ben jointly and severally for breach of contract. However, joseph was unable to pay the entire sum of damages awarded to Musa, while Ben declined to pay any part of it. Musa is aggrieved by Ben’s refusal to pay. Ben claims that Musa had only dealt with joseph. Musa intends to bring an action against Ben.
