Immoral contracts
Immoral contracts, contracts founded upon considerations contra bonos mores, are void. Ex turpi contractu non oritur actio.

A covenant to pay money in consideration of future cohabitation is void, though under seal, Ayerst v. Jenkins, (1873) LR 16 Eq 275. See ILLEGAL CONTR-ACT....
