Minor Entitled to Disaffirm Contract and Arbitration Award
(pictured: garden diety of children)
Arbitration award is unenforceable against party who was a minor entitled to disaffirm the underlying agreement. His minority status coupled with the absence of the appointment of a guardian ad litem entitled him to disaffirm the award and judgment even after statutory deadline for moving to vacate the award had passed.
Disaffirmance by the minor did not, however, affect the enforceability of the underlying agreement or of arbitration award against the parent who agreed to be personally liable for the minor’s obligations under the contract.
