Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant could be charged with the co-plaintiff's knowledge of the revised cost ceiling.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No attribution was established, because no power of attorney, simple partnership, or other factual basis for relying on apparent authority was sufficiently found.
Extrahierte Begründung
Attribution under agency or simple partnership requires a legal basis and, for apparent authority, reliance by the counterparty. The lower court made no findings on authorization, partnership, or the respondent's actual reliance.
