Void Contracts. Clause 24: Agreements are void of considerations and objects unlawful in part.
Void Contracts. This is a contract which does not include rights and obligations; however, the full consequences of illegality are not present. Examples of these contracts include:
a. Contract declared void by statute: an example of this is wagering contracts. According to the Gaming Act 1845, Section 18 “All contracts or agreements, whether by parole or in writing, by way of gaming or wagering shall be null and void; and no suit shall be brought or maintained in any court of law and equity for recovering any sum of money or valuable thing alleged to be won upon any wager or which shall have been deposited in the hands of any person to bid the event to which any wager shall have been made”. In such case, the loser cannot be compelled to pay and a stakeholder cannot be forced to surrender any money left in his hands. The Act also prohibits agents from recovering money or commission paid out or earned by them on behalf of a principal.

It can also be in the setting up business to compete with his employer and otherwise acting to the disadvantage of the employers. However, the issues concerning the duration of the restraint, area to be affected in terms of disctance and material are important but the nature of the work carried out by the employee concerned must also be put into consideration.
