Article 1379
Contracts Contrary to Good Morals, Public Order or Mandatory Rules of Law
(1)
A contract which by its content or necessary implication is contrary to good morals or public order is null and void.
#(2)
Violation of a mandatory rule of law entails nullity of the contract; if, however, such a rule of law is intended solely for the protection of one of the parties to the contract, the contract may only be avoided by that party.
#(3)
Mandatory rules of law which do not purport to invalidate contracts contrary to them, shall not entail that these contracts are null and void or may be avoided.
