In contract terms, what does 'legal acts' require?

• A. The act must occur within 30 days
• B. It requires a court ruling
• C. It must be performed by a licensed attorney
• D. The service offered in the contract must be legal

Answer: (D)

Focusing on what makes a contract enforceable, the acts described in the agreement must be lawful. If the contract promises to provide or obtain a service that is illegal, the contract is void and unenforceable because it violates public policy and legal rules. That’s why the correct choice says the service offered in the contract must be legal—it keeps the agreement within the bounds of the law and ensures it can be upheld in court if needed.

The other options don’t address whether the act itself is permissible. A time frame like 30 days is about when something happens, not legality. A court ruling isn’t required to deem an act legal; legality is determined by applicable laws and regulations. Requiring a licensed attorney to perform the act concerns who performs the service, not whether the service itself is legally allowed.
