Sub-title V

In forceOfficial text

(1) The mere declaration made by a minor that he is of age shall not operate to deprive him of the right to sue for rescission.

(2) Nevertheless, it shall not be lawful for a minor to impeach his obligation on the ground of his disability to contract, if he is guilty of misrepresentation calculated to lead others to believe that he is capable of contracting, and has, by such means, deceived the other party.
