Minors Contractual Capacity

Summary

Contracts with minors are generally voidable under Philippine law unless for necessities. The agreement between X and Z is voidable as X is a minor and the sale deviated from the original rental agreement. Commodatum involves lending non-consumable property without compensation. A contract forged without genuine consent, like Annes, is void ab initio.

It's voidable contract? So it's valid unless ratify?
Yes, a voidable contract is valid until it is annulled or ratified. Here are key points to consider:
- Minors (under *) generally cannot enter into binding contracts, except for necessities.
- The contract between X and Z is voidable since X is a minor and it deviated from the original agreement.
If you have any other specific details or questions, feel free to ask!
True or False. Commodatum is a contract whereby a person allows another to use his non-consumable property with a promise to either compensate for its value or to replace it with another of the same kind and quality.
False. Commodatum is a contract where a person (the lender) allows another (the borrower) to use his non-consumable property without compensation, and the borrower is obligated to return the same property after use. There is no promise to compensate for its value or replace it with another of the same kind and quality.
True or False. Anne prepared a contract of usufruct with B over the latter's property. Without B's knowledge, Anne forged B's signature in the contract and made it appear that he consented thereon. CONCLUSION: The contract is therefore void ab initio because it is simulated in the first place.
True. The contract is void ab initio because it was forged. Forging B's signature means there was no genuine consent from B, making the contract simulated and therefore void from the beginning.
Is there any more specific legal information you need regarding this case?
Actually, it's FALSE, because although the contract is indeed void but that is because said contract is rather fictitious and not simulated.
