This describes the doctrine of undue influence, which occurs when one party has significantly more power and control over the other party, resulting in the latter party consenting to an agreement that they otherwise would not have made. This can occur in situations such as a doctor and patient relationship or a boss and employee relationship. Under this doctrine, a court may deem an agreement invalid if genuine assent was not given by one party due to the influence exerted by the other party.
