Practice question
An eighteen-year-old with no other incapacity enters an ordinary lawful supply contract. The supplier argues the contract is voidable solely because majority begins at twenty-one. No special rule applies. Which answer is correct?
- The supplier is correct for every ordinary contract.
- Every contract by a person below twenty-five is voidable.
- RA 6809 generally fixes majority at eighteen, so the stated age alone does not establish minority incapacity.
- Age never has any legal relevance.
- The contract is necessarily unenforceable because both parties are minors.
