DURESS
Duress relieves a party of the duty to perform a c ontract. A party was under
duress if [he/she] was forced to make a contract by wrongful acts that left that party with
no reasonable choice but to agree to the contract on th e other party's terms. Wrongful
acts are those acts that involve bad faith coercion or compulsion. In deciding whether
there was duress you should consider the nature of such acts and the characteristics of the
party claiming duress. This would include [his/her] age, gender, physical and mental
condition, as well as the other circumstances surrounding the making of the contract.
