Some specific situations where a contract would be considered unlawful and void include: if it requires doing something forbidden by law; if it would defeat the purpose of an existing law; if the purpose is fraudulent; if it would cause injury to a person or their property; if a court deems the purpose to be immoral; or if it is opposed to public policy.
