Contractual Capacity is the legal ability to enter into a conract. Minors have particular rights and obligations established by the court when it comes to contracts. Once a person reaches age 18, they are considered a legal adult in every state in the nation. In adittion to minors, other persons are able to aviod contracts. Mentally implaired and intoxicated people, convicts, and aliens lack the capicity to enter into a contract.

Any one cannot enter into a contract; he must be competent to contract according to the law. Every person is competent to contract if

  • He is of the age of majority

  • He is of sound mind

  • He is not disqualified from contracting by any law to which he is subject

  • There may be a flow in the capacity of parties to the contract. It can be possible due to minority, lunacy,idiocy, drunk-ness, drug addition (unsound mind)
