AOnly after the minor reaches majority and ratifies
BFrom the minor's personal future earnings
CFrom the minor's estate / property, not from the minor personally
DAgainst the minor's parents directly
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. From the minor's estate / property, not from the minor personally
Section 68: the supplier is entitled to be reimbursed from the PROPERTY OF the incapable person, not personally liable on the minor. The supplied items must be 'necessaries' suited to the minor's condition in life.
