Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The agreement to hijack a truck carrying a load of almonds is illegal and against the law. As such, no legal action can be taken by either party, and Duffy cannot be held liable for damages or losses resulting from the illegal activity. Therefore, Elbert cannot enforce the agreement or recover damages under any legal theory.
