Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contracts entered into by an intoxicated person can be voidable if the person was unable to understand the nature and consequences of the transaction and the other party was aware of the intoxication. If Dale repudiates the contract upon regaining sobriety and can prove Sonja knew of his condition, he may avoid the contract.
