So, when Jon committed the aledged crime he was only 15 years old. In the UK this would make him a minor and would affect the way in which his case was processed (e.g. a juvenile rather than adult court). I am fairly certain that in the UK someone who is 15 cannot be a party to a contract, and this would presumably include a contract-o-matic (i.e. they cannot be held to the terms of any contract which they sign). Does anyone know if similar rules exist in Norway? Would peopler care to speculate if this may become relevant to the case?
