Consequently, the performance of a contract of employment and the commission of an illegal or immoral act do not in itself destroy a contract of employment, unless the courts do not implement illicit transactions or rights arising therefrom and violate private rights when the applicant: contrary to an illegal agreement, an agreement not concluded can be defined as an agreement that is not legally binding. Such agreements are not applicable in the eyes of the law, as they do not bind the parties by rights or obligations. No transaction carried out under a void agreement shall be considered valid and effective. agreements can be either annigable from the outset, i.e. they are not concluded from the outset; or may become disabled later after losing their legal applicability due to an act committed during the duration of the service. Illegal agreements are illegal from the outset, because the object of the consideration is illegal and punishable in the eyes of the law. Contractual illegality can occur in all sorts of ways. Legal illegality can occur in at least 3 ways. For example, a law could be as follows: if an illegal employment contract has been concluded and an employee brings an action for unjustified dismissal (which is a legal right), there are at least two competing objectives of public policy. This implies that if illegality exists, the situation is different. A contract is considered an “illegal contract” when the subject matter of the contract relates to an unlawful object contrary to the law. And no old illegal activity will make an agreement illegal.
Before we know what makes a contract illegal, it may be helpful to first understand what the basic legal definition of a contract is. In Patel v Mirza (2016), the Supreme Court stated that the factors for assessing illegality and its consequences are as follows: in some cases, a party under Quantum Meruit can recover the value of the goods or services, even if the contract has been found to be illegal. If the services provided were not illegal per se and one party does not comply with its part of the contract, the other party under Quantum Meruit may recover the value that the party received. If the offence is based on non-payment for services, an applicant should rely on Quantum Meruit to preserve the right of recovery. Sometimes a treaty refers to an object that is not expressly prohibited by law, but which nevertheless violates public order and the principles of fair trade. These contracts also fall under the category of “illegal contracts” and are not applicable. In addition, you should also consult a contract lawyer before entering into any type of contract or agreement. An experienced lawyer will be able to design the contract, verify it and ensure that the contract is legally enforceable and that your rights are properly protected by the treaty. . . .
