Legal Question in Business Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Contract law

I agree, the court is unlikely to consider the dress a necessity. Good luck with the district justice court.

Re: Contract law

The general rule is that a minor is not competent to enter into a valid contract. Contracts with minors are voidable upon the minor's disaffirmance after reaching the age of majority. A void contract is one which is deemed at Law never to have existed. A voidable contract is slightly different: it exists until it is repudiated by one of the parties. What I would recommend is that you write a letter to the store reciting the facts in detail, then advise the store that it improperly refused to void the contract. If the store has a parent company or a center of business, carbon copy them on the letter. Give them one month to comply. Feel free to write me directly with questions or call the office.
