Garfield worked for Snoopy as a manager for five years. During that time Garfield had authority to enter into contracts on Snoopy's behalf on all matters. On November 1, 2019, after a very bitter disagreement, Snoopy fired Garfield. On November 2, 2019, Garfield went to Dagwood and offered to sell to him, on Snoopy's behalf, the building that housed Snoopy's business for $500,000.00. Dagwood had often dealt with Garfield and knew him to have significant authority

from Snoopy. Pleased at the price, Dagwood agreed to buy and a written agreement was prepared and signed by Garfield. Snoopy did not advise Dagwood or anyone else about Garfield's firing. Anticipating the purchase, Dagwood spent $50,000.00 on design plans to renovate the building and contracted with a renovation company owned by Adam to do $200,000.00 worth of renovation work. He then contracted with Opus to buy the renovated building from him for $1,000,000.00.

When Snoopy became aware of the sale agreement he refused to sell. Dagwood sued.

What will be the issues and will he be successful? If he is, what categories of damages will he be suing for?
