On March 1st, Jared buys Matthew's car for $10,000 and they agree that Jared will pay Matthew the full amount by June 1st. Jared begins making payments to Matthew, but on May 1st, Jared still owes Matthew $5000. On May 1st, Jared sells Sarah his motorcycle for $5000. Jared and Sarah agree that Sarah will not pay Jared $5000, but Sarah will instead pay Matthew the $5000 Jared still owes him. Matthew agrees to receive the $5000 from Sarah. After making this agreement, Jared changes his mind and tells Sarah to pay him on May 1st and not Matthew. Can Jared do this

Answer: No, an assignment for consideration is irrevocable

Step-by-step explanation:

The above scenario explains an assignment. An assignment simply occurs when an individual who is regarded as the assignor, transfers benefits to another person who is the assignee.

With regards to the situation in the question, it is not possible for Jared to change his mind and tells Sarah to pay him on May 1st and not Matthew. This is because this is an assignment for consideration which in this situation is irrevocable. The assignment will be deemed ineffective if the assignor doesn't receive consideration for the agreement.
