Do you know of any common law legal cases which can be referred for the following case?

Director (A) from Company XYZ has signed agreement with Contractor (B). However, when new Director (C) comes in to XYZ, Director (C) terminate Contractor (B) and made arrangement with other contractor.





Is contractor (B) going to win the case over Director (C)?Do you know of any common law legal cases which can be referred for the following case?
We may be able to clarify the facts.





';Common law'; refers to the legal systems based on the ';common law of England';. The UK, US, India, Australia, Canada and most of other commonwealth nations base their legal systems on the common law.





When ';A'; signed the contract with ';B';, we assume that ';A'; and ';B'; understood that the two parties to the contract were ';XYZ'; and ';B';. We also assume that ';C'; informed ';B'; that ';XYZ'; would not perform.





A second-year law-school student should be able to identify many legal issues that arise under these facts, including:





(1) Whether ';A'; had ';actual authority'; or ';apparent authority'; to bind ';XYZ'; to the contract;





(2) Whether ';B'; acted in good faith as to ';XYZ';;





(3) Whether the contract was otherwise enforceable by ';XYZ';; and





(4) Whether the actions by ';C'; constituted an ';anticipatory breach of contract'; by ';XYZ';.





We cannot cite specific cases concerning these issues, unless we know the jurisdiction (county/state). Therefore, please re-post with additional facts, including the jurisdiction which governs this transaction.





Hope this helps.
