Which of the following agreements is most likely to be unenforceable?

  1. Real estate purchase contract

  2. Lease agreement

  3. Agreement for illegal activities

  4. Service contract

The correct answer is: Agreement for illegal activities

An agreement for illegal activities is most likely to be unenforceable because contracts require a legal purpose to be valid. When a contract is formed for the purpose of engaging in illegal actions, it violates public policy and statutory law. Courts generally will not enforce agreements that involve illegal conduct, as doing so would contradict the legal system's role in promoting lawful behavior. In contrast, real estate purchase contracts, lease agreements, and service contracts can all be enforceable as long as they comply with legal requirements and pertain to lawful activities. These types of agreements are recognized within the legal framework, provided they adhere to elements like mutual consent, consideration, and a lawful object, making them binding and enforceable in court.
