Now, for the first time, a book has been published which deals head-on with the effects of illegality on civil claims, rather than reducing the subject to a couple of chapters. And it\'s about time - especially since the law relating to illegal transactions cuts across many departments of the law such as contract, tort, restitution and property law, including trusts. Illegal Transactions is that book.
Illegal Transactions is a timely work, designed to focus your attention on what happens when illegality occurs in civil claims - and what is available to you as a remedy. Written in an eye-opening and deft fashion, author Dr Nelson Enonchong, breaks the topic down into three distinct areas so that you can grasp the salient points and see at a glance whether they affect you or the case in which you are appearing.
In Part 1, Dr. Enonchong deals with illegality as a defence to claims based in contract, restitution, tort, and title to property (both legal and equitable). In each case he gives a general introduction and highlights the typical tactics employed and discusses the subtleties of the differing areas - opening your eyes to techniques employed.
Next, in Part 2, he breaks down the forfeiture rule (\"no person should be allowed to profit from his own wrong\") as it applies to profits derived from different types of wrongdoing, including crime, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of confidence, tort, and breach of contract. He looks in detail at the differing interpretations placed on particular wrong-doings so you can see for yourself whether your case is likely to be affected by what has happened elsewhere in other cases.
Finally, in Part 3, the book catalogues and analyses the general exceptions to the principles outlined in the first two parts of the book. This is a particularly valuable part of the book, dealing with key points such as where the claimant is innocent, where the illegality is only a minor transgression, or in cases of severance.
