SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment provides a definition of the term ``infant'' for the
purposes of section 93 of the Bank Act to ensure that it is interpreted
consistently with the definition of ``child'' proposed by the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as a person who is less
than eighteen years old.
|
|
|
|
The term ``infant'' is used instead of ``child'' in this Act because of
the wide use of ``infant'' in the common law of contract to mean a minor.
