| 336 | 46 | II.B.1. Unlawful Acts / Illegality / In Pari Delicto Fail | The unlawful acts doctrine is preempted by Dugger v. Arredondo under proportionate responsibility. Kassab changed his defense description from 'Illegality/Criminal Acts/Unlawful Acts Rule' (7th Answer) to 'Illegality/Criminal Acts' (8th Answer) after Pohl identified the preemption problem. Renaming the defense does not make it un-preempted. Illegality and in pari delicto apply only to enforcement of illegal contracts, which Pohl is not seeking. |
