    minor’s liability for ‘necessaries’ supplied to him?
    A The liability arises after he attains majority age Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The liability is against only minor’s property Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The liability arises if minor gives a promise for it Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A supplied the wife and the children of B, a lunatic, with necessaries suitable to their conditions in life. A is entitled to be reimbursed from the B’s property. English law also persists an action for the necessaries supplied to the minor (infant). All contracts entered into by minors for goods supplied or to be supplied (other than contract for necessaries) shall be absolutely void
