Minors(2)

Who may make a contract? A minor may enter into a contract by which he  
acquires an interest of a continuing nature. Such contracts are voidable by the minor during his minority and within a reasonable time after attaining his majority. Until he rescinds (avoids) the contract, it is binding. If he rescinds it beforc his majority, he may withdraw his rescission within a reasonable time afterwards. If he rescinds it, he s relieved of any further obligations.
Money paid by a minor before repudiation is not recoverable from the other party. However, if property has becn transferred under a contract that is later repudiated by a minor, an application can be made to a court by or on behalf of the minor for an order for the return of the property on such terms as the court considers just.
There are four categories of these voidable contracts: (1) contracts concerning land, (2) purchase of shares in a company, (3) partnership agreements, (4) marriage settlement. Except for the contracts made for necessaries, all other contracts entered into by a minor are described as unenforceable: the minor is not bound (though he may ratify the contract after his majority) but the other party is bound. If he is to be bound the minor must ratify the contract within a reasonable time after his majority.Once ratified the contract is valid and is enforceable both by and against the ex-minor.
