The deal was fair in every respect, and the same as the car dealership would give any other customer. After the sale was finalized, the salesman’s supervisor reviewed the contract, and upon researching the matter further, discovering that the boy was only 16. He told the salesperson to call the boy and cancel the contract, which he did. In a breach of contract action brought on behalf of the boy, the court held for the boy. What was the reason?
