Abstract:

Abstract The English law of the illegality of contracts is founded on public policy and expressed in the maxim ex turpi causa non oritur actio meaning an action cannot arise from an illegal cause. Furthermore, the position of the law is that where a contract is tainted with illegality and both parties are equally to blame then neither party can claim any right or remedy under the contract. This doctrine has to be viewed within the context of the employment contracts which are against public policy, particularly those where illegality of contract concerns irregular migrants who have been offered terms which infringe the legislation such as the Immigration Acts and the Modern Slavery Act 2015. The question in this paper is the scope of the public policy requirements that courts take into account when the contracts are unenforceable for illegality based on infringements of the human rights framework and ECHR legal precedence.

Abstract:

Carlo Vellino, who had numerous convictions for burglary, theft and other offences, received frequent visits in his second-floor flat from the police. To their knowledge, he often sought to evade arrest by leaving through a window, normally lowering himself to the ground from a balcony. In September 1994 three police officers arrested him in the flat for failure to appear in court. In circumstances of which there was conflicting evidence, the two officers who were holding Vellino let go of him, and he leaped out of the window, fracturing his skull when he hit the ground. He claimed damages for the resulting brain damage and tetraplegia, alleging that the Chief Constable was vicariously liable for the officers’ negligence. The Court of Appeal (Schiemann L.J. and Sir Murray Stuart-Smith, Sedley L.J. dissenting) upheld Elias J.’s decision to dismiss the claim, on the grounds that: (i) the police owed an arrested person no duty to take care that he was not injured in a foreseeable attempt to escape from lawful custody; (ii) the claimant was the author of his own misfortune; and (iii) as a matter of policy he should not be allowed to base a claim on his own criminal act of escaping from lawful custody (ex turpi causa non oritur actio): Vellino v. Chief Constable of the Greater Manchester Police [2001] EWCA Civ 1249, [2002] 1 W.L.R. 218.

Abstract:

Without assuming prior legal knowledge, books in the Directions series introduce and guide readers through key points of law and legal debate. Questions, diagrams, and exercises help readers to engage fully with each subject and check their understanding as they progress. The claimant has the burden of establishing liability for the tort while the defendant has the burden of establishing the defence. If the claimant establishes a successful cause of action in tort, the defendant must plead one (or more) of the defences available to him. If the defendant establishes a successful defence, either his liability for the damage may be reduced or he may be totally absolved from liability. This chapter examines general defences applicable to all torts but which have particular relevance to claims in negligence, focusing on contributory negligence, volenti non fit injuria, and ex turpi causa non oritur actio.
