Contract Law - Employer a minor
The employee of a minor may have an implied authority to pledge his employer's credit for necessaries1, or on his behalf to enter into a contract, such as a contract for the purchase of land2, belonging to the class of contracts which are binding on the minor, unless expressly repudiated on his coming of age3.
The employee of a minor may also have an implied authority to protect his employer's property, and may therefore be entitled to expel a trespasser4.
