Ken was a very mature looking 17 year old whom everyone always mistook for

being much older.Pursuing his interest in computers, Ken enrolled in Compu School, a

business and vocational school which taught computer training.On his application and

to all school administrators, Ken maintained that he was 20 years old which was a very

believable lie given his mature appearance.After just two months of training, and

before his 18th birthday, Ken dropped out of Compu School and disaffirmed his

contract for enrollment with the school.In response, Compu School sued Ken for

unpaid tuition.

a) If you were the judge, how would you rule and why?

b) Assume also that Ken bought a computer from Digisoft Computer Retailers

when he enrolled in the school (i.e., while he was 17 years old).Ken had a 36 month

payment plan whereby he would pay $50 a month.Ken kept the computer and

continued to make monthly payments on it until just days before his 19th birthday

when he returned the computer to Digisoft and disaffirmed the contract.Digisoft

refused to take the computer back and now sues Ken for the remaining payments.Ken

insists that due to his age at the time of the contract he is not liable for the payments.If

you were the judge, how would you rule and why?
