illegal immigration, employment contracts, and non compete clause?

last year as a senior executive in a company, i discovered they were in violation of state labor laws and federal employment laws, hiring illegal immigrants and providing undocumented workers with false documents so they could work under various names (avoiding over time). i moved to stop the practice and was told it was the "only way" for the company to do business at the time. i resigned my position rather than jeopardize myself. my question is, because they were in violation of laws, is my employment contract's non-compete still in effect?

In UK law a party cannot seek to rely on a contract if they have acted illegally, a company has many duites towards its employees which form an unwritten part of any employment contract and therefore you are likely to find that their actions will allow you to take the contract as rescinded/non-enforceable. Although this question is quite technical so you need proper legal advice.....I would guess that in any legal action regarding your employment contract, if you could prove the allegations above, then the law/judge will look more favourably on you.
