Disposition for consideration
20 Disposition for consideration
(1) Where: (a) a minor makes a disposition of property for a consideration
received or to be received by the minor,
(b) the consideration is not
manifestly inadequate at the time of the disposition, and
(c) the minor
receives the whole or any part of the consideration:
the disposition is
presumptively binding on the minor.
(2) Where: (a) a disposition of property
is made to a minor for a consideration given or to be given by the minor, and
(b) the consideration is not manifestly excessive at the time of the
disposition:
the disposition is presumptively binding on the minor.
(3) Save
to the extent to which, under Part 3 of the Sale of Goods Act 1923 or
otherwise, a promise may operate as a disposition of property, subsection (2)
does not make presumptively binding on a minor a promise by the minor which is
the whole or part of the consideration for a disposition of property to the
minor.
(4) Where the burden of, or arising under, a covenant or other promise
runs with property so as to impose an obligation or restriction on a person to
whom a disposition of the property is made in any manner or circumstances,
subsection (2) does not make presumptively binding on a minor a disposition of
that property to the minor in that manner or those circumstances.
