Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The duty of restitution in this state means that Van must return the skis, even though they are wrecked. He also has to pay for the damage he caused, as he is still responsible for his actions despite being a minor. Option A is incorrect because Van cannot return the skis "as is" as they are damaged. Option B is wrong as well because being a minor does not absolve him of his obligations to perform under the contract. Option D is incorrect since there is no requirement that the skis be returned fully restored.
