Press Release Summary: Illegal Transactions is a timely work, designed to focus your
attention on what happens when illegality occurs in civil claims.

Press Release Body: Illegal Transactions is a timely work, designed to focus your
attention on what happens when illegality occurs in civil claims - and what is
available to you as a remedy. Written in an eye-opening and deft fashion, author Dr
Nelson Enonchong, breaks the topic down into three distinct areas so that you can
grasp the salient points and see at a glance whether they affect you or the case in
which you are appearing.

Use this no-nonsense and incisive book to see how illegality effects civil claims -
and to see what powers are at your disposal to counter illegality

A plain-English and down-to-earth resume of this complex subject - giving examples
of what has happened in the past and showing exceptions to illegality judgments

Fully supported by extensive case references

Now, for the first time, a book has been published which deals head-on with the
effects of illegality on civil claims, rather than reducing the subject to a couple
of chapters. And it\'s about time - especially since the law relating to illegal
transactions cuts across many departments of the law such as contract, tort,
restitution and property law, including trusts. Illegal Transactions is that book.

Illegal Transactions is a timely work, designed to focus your attention on what
happens when illegality occurs in civil claims - and what is available to you as a
remedy. Written in an eye-opening and deft fashion, author Dr Nelson Enonchong,
breaks the topic down into three distinct areas so that you can grasp the salient
points and see at a glance whether they affect you or the case in which you are
appearing.

In Part 1, Dr. Enonchong deals with illegality as a defence to claims based in
contract, restitution, tort, and title to property (both legal and equitable). In
each case he gives a general introduction and highlights the typical tactics
employed and discusses the subtleties of the differing areas - opening your eyes to
techniques employed.

Next, in Part 2, he breaks down the forfeiture rule (\"no person should be allowed to
profit from his own wrong\") as it applies to profits derived from different types of
wrongdoing, including crime, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of confidence, tort,
and breach of contract. He looks in detail at the differing interpretations placed
on particular wrong-doings so you can see for yourself whether your case is likely
to be affected by what has happened elsewhere in other cases.

Finally, in Part 3, the book catalogues and analyses the general exceptions to the
principles outlined in the first two parts of the book. This is a particularly
valuable part of the book, dealing with key points such as where the claimant is
innocent, where the illegality is only a minor transgression, or in cases of
severance.
