Question:

Voeller, the managing partner of the Pay-Out Drive-In Theater, signed a contract to sell to Hodge a small parcel of land belonging to the partnership. Except for the last twenty feet, which were necessary for the theater’s driveway, the parcel was not used in theater operations. The agreement stated that it was between Hodge and the partnership, with Voeller signing for the partnership. Voeller claims that he told Hodge before signing that a plot plan would have to be approved by the other partners before the sale. Hodge denies this and sues for specific performance, claiming that Voeller had actual and apparent authority to bind the partnership. The partners argue that Voeller had no such authority and that Hodge knew this. Who is correct? Explain.
