Can you change the answer? Because it is valid because it's a voidable contract which is VALID until annulled
Sure! Here’s the revised answer:
No, the agreement between X and Z is voidable but still valid until annulled. Since X is a minor (16 years old), any contract he enters into is generally voidable under Article * of the Civil Code of the Philippines. This means X has the right to annul the contract, but until it is annulled, it remains valid. Additionally, Z selling the gadgets without X’s explicit consent breaches the original agreement, making Z's action unauthorized.
Is there anything else you need help with?
The correct answer is: Yes, the agreement is valid. The contract between X and Z involves a principal-agent relationship, wherein Z is tasked with finding a renter for X's gaming gadgets in exchange for a *% commission. The elements of a valid contract—consent, object, and cause—are present. X consented to the agreement, the object is the renting of gaming gadgets, and the cause is the commission to be earned by Z. The agreement between X and Z is voidable but still valid until annulled.
You're correct that the agreement is valid but voidable due to X's minority. Here's a summary:
- Consent: Both parties agreed.
- Object: Renting gaming gadgets.
- Cause: Commission for Z.
However, Z selling the gadgets without X's consent breaches the agreement. Do you need help with another legal aspect of this situation?
The focus is the agreement between X and Z not with Z and Carlo
It seems there is some confusion regarding the focus of the agreement. To clarify further:
- The agreement between X and Z is valid but voidable because X is a minor.
- The elements of a valid contract (consent, object, and cause) are present.
- Z's decision to sell the gadgets to Carlo without explicit consent from X breaches the original agreement.
