Question

Johnson sold logs to mills. Johnson bought the logs from Olsen. At times they would estimate the amount of timber and base payment on the estimate. This "draw' for Olsen was reconciled (with the actual quantity) after delivery to the mill. By the end of summer (1979), Olsen owed Johnson $9,723.10 because of overestimating. In November, Mr. Slusser started to work for Olsen. Olsen told Johnson he would form a partnership with Slusser. Olsen quit working, but Slusser worked a few additional weeks. Johnson refused to pay him because of the $9,723.10 Q Did Slusser share in the $9,723.10 debt?

Explanation / Answer

Obviously not because the mistake was olsen because he misguided johnson by overestimating him and also told johnson that he is doing partnership with slusser rather than telling him that he will quitting job.

Olsen has to tell johnson to pay remaining balance after clarifying the situation to slusser then he will take it on itself rather than misguiding him.
