Therefore, if both were deceived, as if a minor gave money to a minor, and the latter lost it, the cause of him who received it is better, and he either squandered it or lost it.
24. Plainly, if a person under twenty-five years has contracted with a major son of families, he will be restored in full, so that the consideration of age is held more than that of the Senate-consult. The same must be said regarding the Velleian decree the Senatus consultum Velleianum prohibited women from acting as sureties, if a woman has interceded on behalf of a minor, and the debtor is not solvent.
25. That was gravely treated, whether a minor can seek restitution in full against a sworn contract? And it pleased Salicetus, Baldus, and the remaining Doctors that even in this case the minor should be heard, especially if he was not informed.
