Introduction to Contracts
Limits to a Contract
- May someone make a contract to do or sell something illegal?
- What if the contract became unenforceable because something made it illegal after the people agreed to it?
- Does the same hold true for a contract to do something immoral?
- May a contract that I am a party to that was made against my will be enforced against me?
- Are there other kinds of duress besides physical threats?
- What should I do if someone forces me to sign a contract under duress?
- Are there other uses of unfair pressure, less severe than duress, that void a contract?
- What is fraud?
- If I enter into the contract under a mistaken impression, does that affect the contract's validity?
- When is unilateral mistake ever a defense?
- What if both sides make a mistake?
- Does that mean contracts always have a built-in guarantee against mistakes?
- What are statutes of limitations?
