Hi From South Arica.
Great Video man, pity I am not studying to become a laywer, your descriptions and cohgent delivery is so clear tha you almost make it seem obvious.
I was just shunted by a large rental agency who mailed me their lease and bank details at the 11th hour... The following 96hrs became my living nightmare.
I was trying to find out if I could VOID the lease citing Duress - seasoned with bad faith & predujice.
The whole slow-motion train wreck truly had me questioning reality - I still am I guess, its still so fresh. It has me up @ 2am typing comments trying to figure out why this 'pro' would act with such demonstirable malice ...
Would love to know your opinion though I am unsure how similar US Laws are to SA Law (pretty much like Britsh-Common Law).
Sorry I started rambling.
Thanks again for a greeat video

Could this apply to temporary guardianship contracts

[@christinehoolihan4200]

I am told that if I don't sign this contract I will receive an F on an assignment- the assignment is to agree to the contract.

Emotional duress is being used to invalidate prenuptial agreements. Is there anything about legal marriage contracts that's secure besides alimony?

[@BigScaryGary]

The best way to make sure a prenup is enforceable is to 1) Make sure it is signed months before the wedding so no party can argue duress; and 2) Make sure both parties are represented by attorneys when they sign, and lawyers on both sides have reviewed the contract.

So a situation where a shop owner catches a person on camera stealing $100 worth of merchandise. The shop owner contacts the kid and says "Pay me $150 for the merchandise plus my time, or I'll send this to the police." That sounds like it would be extortion and any agreement to pay could be seen as duress, right? Is there a way where the matter could be settled civilly without breaking the law? For example, the shop owner sees the thief is a kid who made a stupid mistake, and so long as he is made whole, doesn't want to burden the kid with a criminal record?

[@moizjatt]

I would say reduce it down to the 100 in order to cover the actual cost of merchandise. The fact of matter is that if you reduce it below that, he can use that with others and there is no detterant.
Or better yet return the merchanise.

Why would the shop owner expect the thief to keep his agreement and the thief should jump on that agreement and get a signature releasing him immediately as he may have hit the jackpot !

[@andrewc673]

Under duress the contract is voidable, not void.

[@JR0G]

What if your own lawyer advises you to sign stipulated parenting agreement stating “if you don’t agree the judge will make it way worse for you”? What are the options?

[@Yah_ThatsMe]

DONT SIGN ANYTHING

[@EnGodWeTrust]

Been seeing you everywhere you are so right. Lawyers are a scam!

What about your job or your let go if you do not get the jab?
