Part V

59. Alternative promise, one branch being illegal

Feedback & support

In the case of an alternative promise, one branch of which is legal and the other illegal, the legal branch alone can be enforced.

A and B agree that A shall pay B RM1,000 for which B shall afterwards deliver to A either rice or smuggled opium.

This is a valid contract to deliver rice, and a void agreement as to the opium.
