Illegal Contract Sample Clauses

An Illegal Contract clause defines that any agreement or provision within a contract that involves illegal activities or violates applicable laws is considered void and unenforceable. In practice, this means that if a contract requires a party to perform an act that is against the law, such as engaging in fraud or violating regulatory requirements, that portion of the contract will not be upheld by courts. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the contract remains compliant with the law and to protect parties from being obligated to perform unlawful acts, thereby maintaining the contract’s overall validity where possible.

Illegal Contract. Illegal contract is a promise that is prohibited due to its very nature. Such contracts are prohibited since the performance, formation, or object of the agreement is against the law. Technically, an illegal contract is not a contract at all and hence the phrase is a misnomer. An illegal contract is exceptionally difficult to define. However, a contract can well be illegal without contravening the criminal law. While a void contract is not necessarily illegal, an illegal contract is often void.
