Hi all

Just wondering if anyone can explain how minors can buy things in
shops eg toys, which cannot constitute necessaries. Pursuant to the
Infant Relief Act 1874 and the subsequent case law - Skrine v Gordon,
Ryder v Wombwell and Nash v Inman, the subject of the contract should
be necessary. (hunting horse, cufflinks decorated with jewels, and
extra waistcoats were not necessary in these cases).

Has the act been repealed/amended, or do people just conveniently
ignore it?

Probably missing something really obvious but notes unclear.

Thanks a mill.
