ContractsQuestion 66 of 120
Which of the following typically makes a contract 'void' rather than merely voidable?
a.One party was a minor
b.It requires performance of an illegal act
c.One party was induced by a misrepresentation
d.One party later changes their mind
Explanation
A contract with an illegal purpose or object is void, meaning it has no legal effect and cannot be enforced by either party. Voidable contracts, by contrast, are valid until one party elects to disaffirm, as with a minor's contract or one induced by fraud. The illegality of the object is a fundamental defect.
