Description
The new edition of Illegality and Public Policy builds on the strengths of its predecessors in its comprehensiveness, extensive case reference and coverage of the allied area of Restraint of Trade. It also offers fresh coverage of Illegality in employment contracts, extensive coverage of up-to-date work by the Law Commission in this field, and worked examples to illustrate the complexities of the field. The book sets out the law relating to illegality and public policy in the context of contracts and the possible undesirable consequences which an agreement may have for society at large.
