Question

Mr. Green enters into a contract with Mr. Blue who is a crab fisherman. Mr. Green and Mr. Blue know that Mr. Blue has already caught the number of crabs allowed for the season. But Mr. Green and Mr. Blue agree to a contract to exceed the quota. What is the status of the contract between Mr. Green and Mr. Blue

Answer 1

The contract between Mr. Green and Mr. Blue is void and unenforceable because it is against the maximum crab quota for the season.

Step-by-step explanation:

The contract between Mr. Green and Mr. Blue is void and unenforceable.

1. Contracts that are illegal or against public policy are deemed void.
2. In this case, Mr. Blue has already caught the maximum number of crabs allowed for the season, so any agreement to exceed the quota would be against the law and the public policy of protecting the sustainability of the crab population.
3. Therefore, the contract between Mr. Green and Mr. Blue is invalid and cannot be enforced.

Answer 2

The contract is void since it attempts to contract for services that are illegal

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a contract between the Mr Green and Mr Blue and they already know that the Mr blue has already caught the number of crabs i.e permitted in the season but they agree to exceed the quota

Therefore the status should be void as they want to exceed which is not permitted that results in illegal service contracts

Hence, there is a void contract
