Duress involves coercion by threat or actual harm, making a person enter into a contract against their will. The most common form of duress involves improper threats or acts, such as threats of physical harm, economic pressure, or other forms of coercion. Not all duress makes a contract void (it can make it voidable at the option of the coerced party), and the wrongful act does not need to be a crime or a tort to constitute duress.
