[amp_mcq option1=”B’s personally liable to pay” option2=”B’s property is liable” option3=”B’s parents are personally liable” option4=”if B’s property is not sufficient to reimburse, than he is personally liable” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: A. B’s personally liable to pay.<\/p>\n
A lunatic is a person who is of unsound mind. In English law, a person who is of unsound mind is not legally capable of entering into a contract. This means that if a lunatic contracts to buy goods or services, the contract is void. However, there is an exception to this rule. If a lunatic contracts to buy necessaries, the contract is valid. Necessaries are goods or services that are necessary for the lunatic’s subsistence or health.<\/p>\n
In the case of A supplies to B, a lunatic, the ‘necessaries’ suitable to his condition in life, A is entitled to be paid for the necessaries that he has supplied to B. B is personally liable to pay A for the necessaries. B’s property is not liable to be used to pay A. B’s parents are not personally liable to pay A.<\/p>\n
Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n
