Q A minor, age 17, signed a contract for a season with a ballet company. After rehearsals and two performances, the dancer received a better offer from another company. Could she terminate, why/why not?
This is clear case of a minor illegally signing a contract and working for a season with a ballet company. Therefore, it is quite evident that the minor will never be liable to do anything in accordance with or as per the terms and conditions mentioned in a particular legal contract. However, there can be several complicated scenarios and considerations or situations to this rule of a minor not being liable to be held to the terms and conditions of a legal contract. In cases where the minor can completely understand the terms and the conditions of a legal contract and also engages and indulges in performing in accordance with or as per the terms and conditions of the contract, then the minor can be held to the terms and conditions of a legal contract as the minor had understood and then only signed and performed the tasks mentioned in the contract or as per the owner of the contract (Liuzzo & Bonnice, 2016).
