The contract did not exhaust the statutory field in s 73(1); the Agency was not contractually precluded from exercising its statutory suspension power under s 73(1)(d); the effect of suspension arose from statute (s73(2) and s69(1)) and prevented provision and payment for legal aid services as of the suspension date, therefore the pleaded contract causes of action were untenable and both causes of action were struck out.
