Illegal/Unenforceable Offers
As noted in the “consideration” section, an offer to do something illegal or against public policy will not be enforced and cannot be “accepted” to form a contract. In fact, if you will recall the case we looked at previously, dealing with clauses in restrictive covenants preventing minorities from living in a neighborhood, this is an example of a contract which will not be enforced due to illegality.
