True or False: A minor can void a contract but will likely not get back any of the money they have paid.

A minor has the legal capacity to void a contract they entered into, as contracts with minors are generally considered voidable. This means that the minor can choose to affirm or void the contract upon reaching the age of majority or even while still a minor. However, when a minor voids a contract, the legal principle often applied is that while the minor may have the right to avoid the contract, they are typically not entitled to a full return of any money paid if they have already received the benefits of the contract.

In many cases, if the minor has used or consumed the goods or services provided under the contract, they may have to return the items or may only be entitled to a partial refund. This principle serves to balance the rights of minors to protect them from being bound by contracts while also recognizing the practical realities of transactions where some level of benefit has been received.

The notion that a minor may not recover any money paid typically stems from the understanding that the law seeks to discourage contracts that involve minors and the potential for exploitation in financial transactions. Thus, the statement is true, as a minor can void a contract but may not receive a full refund of money paid, depending on their use of the services or goods received under that contract.
