Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

A term of a contract is void where—

(a)

the making of the contract is, by reason of the inclusion of the term, unlawful by virtue of these Regulations;

(b)

it is included in furtherance of an act which is unlawful by virtue of these Regulations; or

(c)

it provides for the doing of an act which is unlawful by virtue of these Regulations.

(2)

Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply to a term the inclusion of which constitutes, or is in furtherance of, or provides for, unlawful discrimination against, or harassment of, a party to the contract, but the term shall be unenforceable against that party.

(3)

A term in a contract which purports to exclude or limit any provision of these Regulations is unenforceable by any person in whose favour the term would operate apart from this paragraph.

(4)

Sub-paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) shall apply whether the contract was entered into before or after the date on which these Regulations come into force, but in the case of a contract made before that date, those sub-paragraphs do not apply in relation to any period before that date.
