SUMMARY

This enactment provides a definition of the term ``infant'' for the purposes of section 93 of the Bank Act 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.
