Legal Question in Consumer Law in Georgia

Re: Petstore Selling 950.00 puppy to 16yr old?

The GA code provides as follows:

13-3-20. Minors � Contracts for property or valuable consideration;

contracts for necessaries.

(a) Generally the contract of a minor is voidable. If in a contractual

transaction a minor receives property or other valuable consideration and,

after arrival at the age of majority, retains possession of such property

or continues to enjoy the benefit of such other valuable consideration, he

shall have thereby ratified or affirmed the contract and it shall be

binding on him.

(b) The contract of a minor for necessaries shall be binding on him as if

he were of legal majority except that the party furnishing them to him must

prove that the parent or guardian of such minor had failed or refused to

supply sufficient necessaries for him.
