168 S.E.2d 31 (1969)

5 N.C. App. 219

GASTONIA PERSONNEL CORP. v. Bobby L. ROGERS.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

Certiorari Allowed August 29, 1969.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph B. Roberts, III, Gastonia, for plaintiff appellant.

Henry M. Whitesides, by T. Lamar Robinson, Jr., Gastonia, for defendant appellee.


MORRIS, Judge.

This appeal presents but one question. That is, whether the employment of the services of a professional employment agency may be considered a "necessary" expense so that an infant is obligated to pay for them?

The general rule is that a minor may disaffirm a contract made by him. The exception to this rule is that a minor is obligated to pay for necessaries. Turner v. Gaither, 83 N.C. 357; and In Re Peacock, 261 N.C. 749
