LXI: Conclusion on the rule in Ralli Brothers [473]
LXI: Conclusion on the rule in Ralli Brothers [473]
It follows that the Bonds are unenforceable, under the rule in Ralli Brothers, because performance by the Banks would be unlawful under the law of the countries where the relevant steps (above all, payment) would have to be carried out. Alternatively, they are unenforceable as a matter of public policy.
