This is my understanding, but I am also interested in those more knowledgeable on the subject.
My understanding is this...Some in the Dom/sub community choose to agree to take on roles of servitude and master. As well as enter into a written contract to make sure everything is understood up front.
I always wondered if one ever breeched a section of a contract, could they be sued?

Contracts that are illegal or against public policy are not enforceable. Slavery is illegal. Do the math. Then again, I dont think you'll find many doms trying to enforce slavery contracts in open court.

I will be the 3rd strike with this twist. What court would accept litigation for FAILING to commit a felony. That is a trick question too. There probably is some knucklehead judge that would hear it. It would get bounced by a higher court if that were to happen. I hope!
Living in the SF Bay Area I can tell you it has most likely happened here.
I was making a delivery to a Catholic Church in Mill Valley (Marin County) While I was talking to the secretary the Priest comes in shaking his head. A woman in SF had called and asked if he would marry her to her dog. This was not a call from the Ghetto. It was from a member of a very prominent family in Pacific Heights. His words.

Yes, some in the dom/sub community have these types of contracts, but they are not legally binding in any way (at least not in the US, and I assume not in other countries either), and dom/subs understand that.

Such "contracts" are not enforceable as executory contracts, because there are no monetary damages resulting from breach and because certain parts may be contrary to public policy. But they do have a use: as evidence of what actions have been consented to in the event someone is injured or claims assault.

Nope: These contracts fall foul of statutory law, meaning they are are null and void, thus, not enforceable.

The commission of a crime voids the contract.
