The 1965 hire‑licence arrangement and the 1967 auxiliary agreement were made to defeat statutory licensing requirements and are therefore illegal and unenforceable; the 1967 sale agreement, though ex facie lawful, was tainted by the unlawful purpose and is unenforceable as a contract, so the plaintiff's contractual claim fails (dismissal with costs).
