Upon signing the contract from Lisa’s sides, both Lisa and Denny had actually entered into a legally binding considering there was an offer in place where by Denny offered to pay $450 to Lisa for her coat, some food and eventually $50 for her bike, willingness to contract where by Lisa was at the start willing to give out her coat, bike and money for lunch for overall stated price, a consideration worth $500 which was to be given at a later date in regard to the acquisition of the coat, the bike and the money given for lunch purposes and agreement where both parties ended signing the contract which ultimately declared the existence of the contract.
On the other hand taking into consideration of the situation from Denny's legal standing point, the contract shouldn’t be in existence and is not legal nor binding in anyway due to the fact that Denny provided false information regarding his age which was basically a case of fraudulent misinterpretation whereby he claimed to be 20 years old where else in real senses he was only 16 years of age with no capacity to enter into contract with Lisa who seems to have the capacity in terms of age.
Based on the two outcomes provided above and standing on the fact that the illegality of the contract was not on Lisa’s side and that she had taken a step to confirm Denny’s age before entering into the contract with him and that Denny himself was the wrong doer in the whole situation personally I would say the court case would favor Lisa irrespective of the fact that Denny was only 16 years and not 20 years as he had stated before entering into the contract with Lisa and that he had ultimately breached the contract where else Lisa had maintained the legality of the contract declaring her the innocent party based on contractual law.
Hence the verdict would be that Denny; irrespective of his age, would be charged with a case of fraud and falsity upon contracting and the eventual case would be:
Lisa vs. Denny
Based on the above findings it would be held that Denny was found guilty on the stands of falsity and fraudent actions and was due entitled to some form of law enforcement for juvenile related incidents with Lisa given room to seek compensation for the damages incurred in the process of entering into the contract with Denny for breach of contract.
