A sub-agreement does not operate as an assignment of the head agreement but is a separate and independent contract, and, thus, a sub-purchaser has no direct claim against the head-vendor and he is thus free to impose such terms as he sees fit as consideration for a transfer directly from himself to the sub-purchaser.(Di Castri, 2nd ed. 1976, p. 413) 1, record 1, English, - sub%2Dagreement

The fact, "simpliciter", that the parties to an instrument are described as "assignor" and "assignee" does not make the instrument, which in substance is a sub-agreement of sale, an assignment. There is no privity of contract between the head-vendor and a sub-purchaser. A sub-agreement does not operate as an assignment of the head agreement but is a separate and independent contract, and, thus, a sub-purchaser has no direct claim against the head-vendor and he is thus free to impose such terms as he sees fit as consideration for a transfer directly from himself to the sub-purchaser.(Di Castri, 2nd ed., 1975, p. 413) 1, record 2, English, - sub%2Dagreement%20of%20sale
