Reviewed by Advocate Aditi Babbar · Practicing since 3 years🗣️ Simple Explanation
If someone forces you, pressures you unfairly, lies to you, or gives you wrong information to make you agree to something, the agreement can be canceled by you. It's like if someone threatens you to sign a paper – you can later say it's not valid.
💡 Real Life Example
A threatens B to sign a contract. B signs it under duress. B can later cancel the contract.
🛡️ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
- •You can cancel a contract if your consent was obtained through coercion, undue influence, fraud, or misrepresentation.
- •Seek legal help if you suspect any of these issues in a contract.
