Exeplain the concept of neccessaries as it affect capacity of persons to enter into a valid contract?
Generally a minor is liable for the value of necessaries furnished. [ Thus an infant is prevented from renouncing his/her contract with an employment agency if a service that is rendered by an employment agency falls under the category of necessaries under common law and other statutes[v]. While interpreting the phrase ”necessaries”, a court must measure both an infant’s standard of living and the ability and willingness of his/her guardian if s/he has a guardian to supply the needed services or articles. The concept of “necessaries” must be enlarged to include such articles and services
that are reasonably required by an infant to support him/her and those legally dependent upon an infant ]
