This video continues our coverage of the defenses to contract formation with a look at duress and undue influence. Although these defenses are distinct, each having their own elements, they share a common concern about voluntariness.

A legally effective acceptance should be voluntary. If someone assents to a deal because of improper threats or excessive persuasion, then their acceptance likely isn't voluntary. Duress and undue influence provide a means of remedying such situations.
