Question:
On January 1, Jack, 17 years old, orders computer software programs from a computer company. Jack needs the programs for the school. The software programs cost $4000.00. On January 5, just before the computer company sends the software programs out, Jack changes his heart. Can Jack get out of the contract? On what basis? Is there any argument that can be used to enforce the contract against Jack?
In your opinion, is there any argument that could be used to enforce the contract against Jack? I have a thorough understanding of the voidable nature of this contract, Jack's position as a minor, and the fact these are non-necessaries. However, this final piece seems like a leading question, and want to explore if there is any possibility this contract could be enforced against Jack, and what that is/why.
