Necessaries in Europe
Definition of Necessaries
Infants and lunatics normally incapable of making a binding contract, can contract to buy necessaries, which are defined as ” goods suitable to the condition in life of such infant and to his actual requirements at the time of the sale and delivery.” (Sale of Goods Act, 1893, s. 2.) See Roberts v. Gray, Ryder v. Wombwell.
As a general rule, every wife has an implied authority to contract with tradesmen for necessaries suitable to the degree and estate of her husband, so as to make him liable. See Bolton v. Prentice.
For ships, the term ” necessaries ” means such things as are fit and proper for the service in which the ship is engaged, and such as the owner, being a prudent man, would have ordered if present. The master may hypothecate the ship for necessaries supplied abroad so as to bind the owner
