Entry into a contract without consent

(1) If the minor enters into a contract without the necessary consent of the legal representative, the effectiveness of the contract is subject to approval by the legal representative.

(2) If the other party demands that the representative declare approval, the declaration may be made only to the other party; a declaration or refusal of approval made to the minor before the demand of the other party becomes ineffective. The approval may only be declared before the expiry of two weeks following receipt of the demand; if approval is not declared, then it is considered to have been refused.

(3) If the minor has become fully capable of contracting, then the approval by the minor will take the place of the approval by the representative.
