Question

Two brothers, Sam and Jim, were fighting over the division of their ancestral property. After ten years of legal battle, a frustrated Sam contacted a powerful politician who subjected Jim to extreme duress, forcing him to sign a contract in favor of Sam. When Sam takes this contract to court, the contract will be declared ________.

Answer 1

Voidable

Step-by-step explanation:

A voidable contract is a contract that can be voided by one of the parties involved. In this case Jim can request the court to void the contract because it was signed under duress.

Contracts can only be signed under a party's free will, but in this case the politician pressured Jim to sign the contract against his will.
