Case Brief for Leonard v PepsiCo
Regarding legality, the first right granted to minors in contract law cases is the right to dis-affirm.
How would you "standardize or structure" the following rule of law regarding dis-affirming for minors? In its current state, it appears to be clear as mud!
"Dis-affirming occurs when the minor states, either in a verbal declaration or by their actions, that they no longer intend to be bound by the terms of the contract to which they are a party. Upon reaching the age of majority, the minor may choose to disaffirm the contract they were entered into while in the minority. If they do not disaffirm the contract within a reasonable period of time, they are considered to have ratified the contract."
