Knyvett v Christchurch Casinos Ltd () 2 NZLR 559 is a cited case in New Zealand regarding whether a contract illegal under statute, can be subsequently validated under the Illegal Contracts Act 1970. ==Background== Polglase won a $31,173.71 jackpot at the Christchurch Casino, however when the casino later discovered that he was only 18 years old, a minor, they refused to pay him out his winnings. The Casino argued that under the Casino Control Act 1990, gambling by a minor is illegal, and thus honoring any wager would be illegal under the Act. However, the Act only prohibited a minor being on the premises of a Casino, it did not go as far as stating any bets would be illegal as well. The casino successfully obtained a judgment from the High Court. Polglase, via his guardian Kynvett appealed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Knyvett v Christchurch Casinos Ltd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
