Mariah, a young woman aged 17, went shopping. She purchased a new coat on credit at a clothing store. Later the same day, she took her expensive watch to a jewellery shop to have a new watch band installed. While in the shop, she purchased on credit an additional watch for herself, and a silver bracelet as a gift for a friend. When the merchants later requested payment, Mariah refused to pay. Mariah would be liable for the payment for the coat, if the coat was a "necessary."
