CONTRACTS, § 148 — courts as refusing to aid either party to unlawful contract. In damage action for breach of written contract, judgment would be entered for defendant where it appeared that contract was unlawful undertaking known by both parties to be in violation of Emergency Price Control Act and Regulations relating to sugar, since courts refuse to aid either party to unlawful contract, which rule is made for protection of public and not for benefit of parties.
