Statement A: When money is paid or property delivered for an illegal purpose, the contract may be repudiated by one of the parties before the purpose has been accomplished. Statement B: A contract which was entered into during the lucid interval of a demented person is valid. Only Statement 'B' is false. Only Statement 'A' is false. Neither is false. Both are false.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking us to evaluate the validity of two statements related to contract law and determine which of them are false.
Answer
Only Statement 'B' is false.
Only Statement 'B' is false.
Answer for screen readers
Only Statement 'B' is false.
More Information
Statement A is true as it aligns with the principle from the Civil Code Article 1414, which allows repudiation of contracts for illegal purposes before the purpose is accomplished. Statement B is false because a demented person is considered incapable of giving valid consent to contract, even during lucid intervals.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming a lucid interval allows for a valid contract, which isn't legally valid as the person is generally incapable.
