Assume you are the Minister of Justice. Several colleagues have expressed an interest in providing a policy document to Canadians describing current issues in contract law. You have been asked to prepare a section of the document on illegal contracts. In particular, you have been asked to provide four (4) examples of different types of illegal contracts (contracts formed illegally) and whether such contracts are void or voidable. You must provide a very brief scenario demonstrating each of the 4 illegal contracts.
Explain the duty to mitigate damages when a contract is breached. Provide one example where the victim of a breach did not mitigate the damages, and one example where the victim of a breach did mitigate the damages.
