The four factors outlined by the Supreme Court of Canada when deciding whether to declare an illegal contract void or partially enforce it are: whether section 347 would be violated by enforcement or not; whether the illegality was based on fraud, illegality or public policy; whether severance would result in an equitable result between the parties; and whether the parties entered into the agreement for an illegal purpose or with an illegal intention. The option A, whether the contract was a standard form agreement, is not one of these factors.
