Polly hires Ally as her sales agent for a 9 month period. (Ally is an independent contractor.) Ally is to receive a salary of $20,000, plus a 5% commission on everything she sells. 3 months later, Polly fires Ally and terminates the agency because she thinks that Ally's manner of dress is odd. Allywants to sue Polly for breaching the agency agreement. Ally maintains that: Polly could not revoke the agency because the agency is an agency coupled with an interest (Ally's commission); (2) in any event, Polly could not revoke the agency without just cause, odd looking clothing is not just cause, and Ally therefore is entitled to an injunction restoring the agency; and (3) even if Polly could revoke the agency, she had no right to do so on these facts and therefore Ally is entitled to damages. Are these claims Justified? Explain.
