Fast Eddie and his friend Vic the Slick operate Hot Wheels I

Fast Eddie and his friend Vic the Slick operate Hot Wheels, Inc., a used car lot. Their business model is to find unattended cars on the side of the freeway, quickly and discreetly tow them off scene, file off the original VIN, do some quick repair work, and then sell the car with a different VIN.

Eddie and Vic hire independent contractor, Patty Larceny, to tow unattended cars with the promise that she will be paid $1,500 for every car she tows. Patty has a couple very successful weeks and is paid handsomely. But Patty\'s third week on the job ends with her towing an unattended police vehicle - which attracts the attention of the government authorities to Eddie and Vic\'s illegal enterprise. Eddie and Vic get mad at Patty and in order to retaliate, they decide they will not pay her for any cars she towed that week. Does Patty have a valid contract claim against Eddie and Vic?

Solution

Ans

No its doesn\'t have valid contract claim. The reason is it is a case of unlawful consideration. The agreement is void
