Was the contract against the law when the contract was signed? Others are saying the law was changed after the contract was agreed to.

- gpderetta 7y agoLaws change all the time making contract clauses invalid, I don't think that's an issue. Sometimes laws might explicitly grandfather previous arrangements or provide transition periods, but that's not a given. In the case of GDPR, of course grandfathering would render the law moot, but it did take many years from the law passing to becoming effective. To make an example which is relevant to our field, if a law is passed making non-compete invalid, would you expect it to only apply to new contracts?
