Illegality

Illegality is an Affirmative Defense. A contract which violates a provision of the constitution or a statute is void and illegal, and, will not be enforced in our courts. “Where the parties to such an agreement are in pari delicto the law will leave them where it finds them; relief will be refused in the courts because of public interest.” Local No. 234 v. Henley, 66 So.2d 818, 821 (Fla.1953). Harris v. Gonzalez, Case::789 So.2d 405, 409 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001).
