SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment provides a definition of the term ``infant'' for the
purposes of this section to ensure that it is interpreted consistently with
the definition of ``child'' proposed by the United Nations Convention
on the Rights of the Child as a person who is less than eighteen years old.
|
|
|
|
The term ``infant'' is used instead of ``child'' in this Act because of
the wide use of ``infant'' in the common law of contract to mean a minor.
