Can you enforce a contract against a minor, who is anyone under 18 according to the definition of Family Law Reform Act 1969?

In England and Wales, a minor under the age of 18 cannot enter into a binding contract under the definition of the Family Law Reform Act 1969. Any contract entered into by a minor is considered voidable, meaning that the minor can choose to either enforce or void the contract. A minor can choose to enforce the contract once they reach the age of 18. Until then, the minor can only enforce the contract with the assistance of a court-appointed guardian or with the permission of the court. In practice, contracts entered into by minors are often not enforceable, as the minor can choose to void the contract and the other party may have difficulty proving the terms of the agreement. To avoid the risk of a contract being voidable, it is recommended that contracts involving minors only be entered into with the assistance of a guardian or legal representative.
