Jane and Ridge are partners in a computer animation firm. Jane retires from the firm, but tells Ridge it is OK to leave his name on the entrance door to the firm and in the telephone listing. Alex, a new client, visits the firm after telephoning the firm. Alex has seen Jane's name listed in the phone book along with Ridge's and the firm's names. He also sees Jane's name on the entrance door to the firm. Believing Jane is a partner with Ridge, Alex contracts to have the firm develop animation for his upcoming film. Ridge, however, never performs the contract. Alex sues Ridge and Jane. Is Jane liable to Alex?
