2.4 VOID, VOIDABLE AND UNENFORCEABLE CONTRACT
Voidable contract is a contract which may appear to be valid and
has all the necessary elements to be enforceable but has some
type of flaw which could cause one or both of the parties
to void the contract.
Figure 2.1: Unenforceable Contract
Valid Contracts- if a contract has all the required elements, it is
valid and enforceable in a court of law.
Void Contracts - a void contract is not a contract and has no
effect in a court of law and cannot be enforced in a court of law
(missing one or all the essential elements needed for a valid
contract). Neither party needs to take action to terminate it, since
it was never a contract to begin with.
