A contract against public policy is
- Valid
- Void
- Voidable
- Invalid
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
A contract against public policy is considered void. In legal studies, a contract is deemed void when it fails to meet the essential criteria that make an agreement legally enforceable.
If a contract promotes activities that contravene established laws or societal norms, it undermines the legal framework's integrity. Public policy represents the collective interest and welfare of the public, and maintaining this balance is crucial for legal enforcement.
Therefore, any agreement that disrupts or negatively affects public policy holds no legal validity, automatically rendering it as void. This ensures that the legal system supports ethical, just, and fair dealings in society.
