Ok, long situation here so bear with me.
1: Person A has a website. blah.com
2: Company A buys website from Person a for 300 USD
3: Person A is 17, and lives in BC Canada, Company A is a LLC and resides in California
4: Person A was indirectly promised from Company A that he would remain a staff member and continue to be paid.
5: Several months go by, and Person A is "fired" without warning by Company A

So am I correct in thinking that Person A should be able to get back the domain and all content, as he is a minor and cannot bind into a contract of any sorts? Please keep in mind that it is very easy to prove that the worth of the website is FAR over 300$ (more along 40-80 thousand) So I would assume I have ground to prove that it was a "scam" deal.

What I want to know is;
A; Does a lawsuit have a chance of winning
B; How about should I go go ahead with a lawsuit (small claims, federal, etc..)
C; Do I need to file in california in the companys home town?
D; Anything else you feel I should know.

Thanks so much. And if any attorneys are looking for a possibility to take on this case for a fee, please contact me. (If you are in the southern california area)

Yes, because he got scammed.. So to speak. He was unsure of the worth.
In my eyes its the same thing as a kid selling a babe ruth card for 50$ because he didnt know it was worth 20k

also, the sale occured on december 13th, 2006

edit- And sorry about cross posting, I jsut didnt know which forum it belonged in
