Your 15-year-old brother comes home with the great news that he has decided to buy his first car and has just agreed to give $10,000 to a complete stranger. He signed the contract and just needs to pay the stranger and pick up the car. Your dad is upset and calls the stranger to tell him your brother will not be buying the car. The stranger can:

B) sue your dad for breach of contract.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since your brother is a minor, he does not have the legal capacity to enter into a contract. Therefore, the contract is void and unenforceable. The stranger cannot sue for breach of contract or specific performance. Your dad did the right thing in canceling the transaction to protect your brother from a potentially harmful situation.
