Read off the question and its marks
What the paper leaves open
The OR part prints no lead-in; it is read with the main part's instruction (state, with reasons, whether each statement is true or false). Marked as one question of 9 marks; answered here in 3 parts of 3 marks each (marks inferred).
Write it in this order
- 1 (iii) Verdict and reason 3 marks 6 min
Try it first. About 6 minutes for 3 marks. Write it out, then open the solution.
Solution
Hover or tap a marked figure, like 72,000, to see how it is made and where else it appears.
(iii)True Every illegal agreement is void, but a void agreement need not be illegal: a void agreement is merely not enforceable by law, while an illegal agreement is also forbidden by law and its parties are liable to punishment; the court refuses to enforce even the contracts connected with an illegal agreement.
