Q Rogan, tried several times to pass the state electrician's exam and failed. Nevertheless, he felt confidant that he knew enough to accept jobs requiring an electrician's license. Duggan hired Rogan to do some electrical work in one of his buildings. Prior to commencing the job Duggan learned of Rogan's failure to have the designated license and thereby cancelled the contract with Rogan. Rogan claims he should be paid because he turned down other electrician-type jobs to accept this job with Duggan. Enforceable contract? Should Rogan be paid? Is Duggan a party to be held liable because he failed to ask to see Rogan's license?
