In the scenario exemplified in the question above, it can be said that because he is a minor, Haley's contract with Games Galore can be canceled.

Therefore, if the case is brought to court, it will likely be determined that Haley will return the valuable work materials provided by Game Galore and any amounts received by Haley that were provided for in the contract.
