📢 Understanding Illegal Contracts in Bangladesh: What You Need to Know 📜⚖️
Contracts are the foundation of business and personal agreements—but not all contracts are legally valid. Under Bangladesh’s Contract Act, 1872, an agreement must have a lawful purpose, free consent, and legal consideration to be enforceable. So, what makes a contract illegal?
đźš« What Makes a Contract Illegal?
A contract is illegal if it:
✔ Violates the law (e.g., smuggling, bribery, tax evasion) – Section 23
✔ Goes against public policy (e.g., restraining trade unfairly) – Section 27
âś” Involves fraud or harm to others
⚡ Consequences of Illegal Contracts
❌ Courts will NOT enforce illegal agreements.
❌ No legal remedy—even if one party suffers losses.
