Gerard, an adult, contracts with Communiserve to purchase, in installments over a period of five years, a very large quantity of services that he will probably never need. Although Gerard understands what he is doing when he enters the contract, he has a mental condition that impairs his ability to act in a reasonable and rational way. Under the Restatement:a. Gerard’s contract is voidable at his option while it is entirely executory. b. Gerard cannot avoid the contract if Communiserve had no reason to suspect Gerard’s incompetency. c. Gerard cannot avoid the contract if the terms are fair. d. Gerard can only avoid the contract if the terms are grossly unfair.63. In most states, whether the time within which a minor disaffirms a contract constitutes a reasonable time is determined by:

a. Gerard’s contract is voidable at his option while it is entirely executory.

Explanation:

In the United States of America, one of the most widely used recognized and most cited legal treatises is the Restatement of Contracts. It allows legal luminaries (judges and lawyers) to have a general understanding of non-binding authorities in contract or common law.

According to the Restatement (second) of Contract, voidable contract is one where one or more parties have the power, by a manifestation of election to do so, to avoid the legal relations created by the contract, or by ratification of the contract to extinguish the power of avoidance.

Hence, under the Restatement, Gerard’s contract is voidable at his option while it is entirely executory.

63. In most states, whether the time within which a minor disaffirms a contract constitutes a reasonable time is determined by the fact and circumstance of the case.
