Question

Games Galore Corporation hires Amanda, a minor, to create new customized game software for certain clients. Amanda signs a contract that requires her to work for Games Galore for eighteen months. Before beginning work, however, Amanda tells Games Galore that she will not create new software for Games Galore and that she is going to work for Ideal Worldcraft, Inc., a Games Galore competitor. Answer the following questions, providing the reasoning/analysis behind your conclusions, i.e. list the applicable rule/law, and apply the facts to the rule to reach a conclusion. You can also argue in the alternative.

(a) Is Games Galore’s contract with Amanda enforceable?
(b) Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

According to the question the contract is valid but the same would not be enforceable as Amanda is a minor. As a minor her consent is not valid completely but if there is any violation on Games Galore so the same would be penalized that results the contract to be enforceable. For minors, the guardian is necessary

So being a minor the contract would not be enforceable although she accepts the terms and condition of 18 months
