Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

A party sought to compel arbitration based on an agreement, but the opposing party argued the agreement was invalid due to a lack of mutual assent because one party was a minor at the time of signing. The court reasoned that the statutory right of a minor to disaffirm a contract, including an arbitration agreement, remains valid unless explicitly waived, and since the minor had not legally ratified the agreement after reaching majority, the agreement was voidable and thus unenforceable for compelling arbitration.
