Undue influence was introduced to deal with cases where a contract was entered into as a result of pressure, but this pressure did not amount to duress. Undue influence can arise where there is a relationship between the parties which has been exploited by one party to gain an unfair advantage. Because of the possibility that a person in such a confidential relationship may dominate the will of another and take unfair advantage of that person, the law presumes that undue influence has occurred if the dominating party obtains any benefit from a contract made with the person alleged to have been unduly influenced. The contract is then voidable and may be set aside unless it can be proven that no such undue influence took place.

If coercion is involved in the formation of a contract, the agreement will not be legally enforceable. For a contract to be legally enforceable, both parties must have willingly entered into the contract.
