Writing Feedback / How does the law deal with minors who enter into a contract? [20]

This is my introductio...Pls comment on it or edit it...Thanks!!!
In the principle of law, the term of minor is used to refer to a person who is under the age in which one legally assumes adulthood and is legally granted rights afforded to adults in society. Depending on the jurisdiction, persons under the age of 21 were designated "infants" and had only a limited capacity to contract. But effective from January 1, 1970, the Family Law Reform Act 1969 reduced the age of majority to 18 and authorised the term "minor" as an alternative to "infant." According to Richards (1992), he stated that despite the petulant view of youth, the aim of the law here is to protect rather than restrict, and this contains not merely protecting minors from entering into unfair contracts, but also protecting adults in their dealing with minors, provided they act in a fair and reasonable manner. It can be supported by the statement of Smith and Keenan (1997) which is a contract in which one or both of the parties lack capacity is voidable by the legally incapacitated party and the capacity of minors who enter a contract is void if a party is adjudicated to be mentally incompetent or so impaired that he could not manifest asset. Therefore, the consequence of minors' contracts are regarded as binding or voidable which depends on the circumstances.

Writing Feedback / How does the law deal with minors who enter into a contract? [20]

and this is my 1st paragraph...pls give me some idea too...
According to Abbot et al (2002), 'Goods suitable to the condition in life of the minor and to his actual requirements at the time of sale and delivery' If the goods are deemed necessaries which include food, clothing, shelter and etc, the minor compelled to pay a reasonable price which will usually, but not necessarily, be the contract price depends on the minor's income which goes with his condition in life and the supply of goods which the minor already has. The first alternative is if the minor is wealthy then quite expensive goods and services may be necessaries for him provided they are useful while the second alternative is if the minor is well supplied the particular articles then they will not be necessaries even though they are useful and are well within his income. All of these points are illustrated in the case of Nash v Inman (1908). This case is relevant to the Savile Row tailor (plaintiff) and an undergraduate minor in Trinity College (defendant). The plaintiff sent his agent to Cambridge because he heard that the defendant was spending money freely, and might be the sort of person who would be interested in high-class clothing. As a result of the agent's visit, the plaintiff supplied the defendant with various articles of clothing to the value of £140 0s 3d during the period of October 2902 to June 1903. The clothes included 11 fancy waistcoats. The plaintiff now sued the minor for the price of the clothes. Although evidence showed that the defendant's father was in good position, being an architect with a town and country house, and it could be said that the clothes supplied were suitable to the defendant's position in life. However, the defendant's father proved that the defendant was amply supplied with such clothes when the plaintiff delivered the clothes now in query. The courts of Appeal held that the plaintiff's claim failed because he had not established that the goods supplied is necessary. This is due to the burden of proving that the goods are necessaries lies on the seller and a minor is not liable if he has adequate supply, even the supplier did not know this.

my 2nd paragrah states as below as well...
Contracts for the minor's benefit include contract of apprenticeship and education. As with 'necessaries', the court will take all the circumstances into account in deciding whether a contract is for the minor benefit according to the judgment of looked at as a whole, in the light of the circumstances when it was made. The minor may be bound even if some of the clauses of the contract do not turn out to his advantage. It can be supported in the case of Clements v Land NW Railway (1894), a young porter agreed to join an insurance scheme to which his employers contributed, and to give up any claim for personal injury he might have under the Employers' Liability Act 1880. The scheme covered a wider range of injuries than the Act but the scale of compensation was lower. The minor was injured in such a way that would have entitled him to compensation under the Act, but it was held that the contract was binding on him since, looked at a whole, in the light of the circumstances when it was made, the insurance was more beneficial to him than the Act. On the contrary, a minor not be bound if the contract is on the whole harsh or oppressive and it is illustrated in the case of De Francesco v Barnum (1890), a girl was apprenticed for stage dancing by a contract which provided stated that she should be entirely at the disposal of her master that she would only be paid if he actually employed her which he not bound to do. Moreover, she could not marry during the apprenticeship as he could end the contract as he found her unsuitable and she could not accept any professional engagement without his consent. But the girl accepted a professional engagement with D without the master's consent. Therefore, it was held that P could not sue D in the tort of inducing a breach of contract since, as the contract was unreasonably harsh, it was valid.

Hi Sarah...Izzit like this way?

It can be concluded that what the law with regard to minors' contracts is, i.e., that they are voidable at the option of the minor, but that there exceptions for necessaries. Beneficial contracts of service is recognised that the minor should be able to earn a living, but if such contracts were void or voidable, he or she might have great difficulty in finding anyone prepare to offer employment. The minor is partially bound, in that he or she is not personally liable for partnership debts, but cannot prevent their discharge. On reaching majority, the former minor will become fully bound unless he or she repudiates.

how about this conclusion?

In conclusion, the general rule with regard to minors entering into contracts is that the contract is voidable at the option of the minor. The sufficiency of protection for those who contact with those lacking capacity must be that some imbalances. However, exceptions do exist, such as contracts for necessaries, contracts for service and benefit of employment and etc. Minors have the option of cancelling contracts for non-necessaries. This affords minors some protection against reckless or imprudent acts, but the law balances this special protection for minors against legitimate business. In these respects, the law seems to be shrinking perhaps too close to protect minors.

Hi Gloria,

I had take ur advice and rework the 2nd paragraph...I need you to check wif me...Thank you very much!!!

Heinz has utilized the needs and wants of consumer by continuing to improve the quality of ketchup by developing tomato strains that are superior in colour, flavour, and firmness. There is a long standing association with ketchup and fun. Ketchup is the number one condiment in North America and is used on a variety of foods. Adults and children alike often draw pictures with their ketchup on their hamburgers or potatoes, and agonize over getting ketchup out of the bottle. As these are parts of consumer's want and need, thus, Heinz starting to add more color and squeezable bottle with a singular shade brings a fresh, new perspective to ketchup to satisfy them.
