States that allow disaffirmance despite the minor's misrepresentation of age,most hold the disaffirming minor responsible for the losses suffered by the adult,either by allowing the adult to counterclaim against the minor for the tort of deceit or by requiring the minor to reimburse the adult for use or depreciation of his property.
