Product Description

The law relating to illegality of contract is of considerable practical importance, yet is widely perceived to be obscure and difficult. This high level, practitioner text examines the area in detail covering all situations where a contract cannot be enforced because to do so would result either in an illegal act or be against public policy. The unexpected impact of legislation on the legality of transactions, covenants restricting the actions of former employees, and the effect of criminal activity upon the enforceability of a contract are among the particular - and highly topical - issues covered in the book. * High level, authoritative treatment of a difficult area of contract law * Practitioner focused * Distinguished author ideally placed to write this text - a consultant to the Law Commission committee on illegality
