Contracts made by minors - Answer --contract made btwn minor and an adult can be disaffirmed by the minor at any time before they become an adult or w/n a reasonable amount of time after reaching adulthood
-if a contract between a minor and an adult is fully executed, the question is whether the
minor can still disaffirm the contract and get back whatever he or she has given up when performing the contract. The general rule is that the minor can do so.
Rick, when he was 16 years old, bought a used car from Car World for $5,000. He drove the car for a year and put 15,000 miles on the odometer. He was also involved in a minor accident.
At age 17, Rick wants to disaffirm the contract with Car World and get a full $5,000 refund. Car World objects. Its owner says, "Look, the car has higher miles that it did last year, and even if it wasn't damaged from the wreck, I could only sell it for $4,000. And with the damage on top of the higher miles, I can't sell it for more than $3,000. And besides, I sold this car more than a year ago - I shouldn't have to issue any refund at all."
What refund should Rick receive if a court applies the rule that is applicable in most states?
A. $5,000 B. $4,000 C. $3,000 D. $0 - Answer -A. In a most states the minor is entitled to the full amount that he or she paid without any deduction for damage or depreciation, even if a contract is fully executed.
Exceptions to contracts made by minors - Answer --minors are generally held liable for at least the reasonable value of necessaries that they have purchased (food, lodging, clothing, medicine)
-a minor may get out of a contract in the case of entities such as common carriers like airlines, trains, buses, ferries- can get refund before the service but not after -a minor may not get out of a military enlistment contract and can't disaffirm contracts with banks and insurance companies
-minors who misrepresent their age can only disaffirm contract before they have been executed so the other party doesnt not incur any loss as a result
