Professor Buckley’s book, Illegality and Public Policy, sets out fully and clearly the law relating to illegality, public policy and restraint of trade in the context of contracts. Offering practical examples of situations in which illegality issues may arise and outlining possible solutions, the book also explores possible reforms of the law in the UK and Commonwealth jurisdictions aimed at overcoming its perceived uncertainly and rigidity.

Key Features
- Clarifies the particularly complex law relating to illegality and public policy in contracts and the possible consequences of such agreements.
- Distinguishes between ‘statutory illegality’ and illegality derived from common law.
- Provides full coverage and analysis of the more transparent approach recently developed by the Supreme Court in England.
- Considers issues arising from the relationship between criminal and civil law, including claimant recovery actions, the forfeiture rule, and the Estates of Deceased Persons Act 2011.
- Looks at the nature and scope of the doctrine of public policy
- Detailed examination of the doctrine of restraint of trade and the distinction between public and private interest.
- Explains the scope of the doctrine of severance.
- Sets out the availability of restitutionary relief in cases of contract illegality
- Explores UK and Commonwealth case law and reforms in these jurisdictions.
- Highlights potential arguments for challenging and examining contracts.
- Deals with the passing of property under unenforceable contracts and difficulties surrounding the transfer of limited interests.
- Provides hypothetical examples of illegality situations and suggests possible approaches to the resolution of disputes
New to the 6th edition
- The far-reaching 2016 decision of the Supreme Court in Patel v Mirza is analysed and discussed throughout the book.
- Significant recent Supreme Court decisions on the scope of the illegality defence, especially Stoffel & Co v Grondona and Henderson v Dorset Healthcare University NHS Trust, are dealt with.
- Key cases on restraint of trade, such as Harcus Sinclair LLP v Your Lawyers Ltd in the Supreme Court and Dwyer (UK Franchising) v Fredbar in the Court of Appeal, are set out.
- Illegality issues arising in unfair dismissal and litigation funding, in cases such as Robinson v Al-Qasimi and Farrar v Candey, are covered.
