Abstract
There is a huge discourse among the judges, academics and scholars as to whether the “lawful pressure” could be held as “illegitimate threat” and hence vitiating as contract for duress. Many argue for a possible extended version of law of contract in this regard. It cannot be denied that there may be circumstances when “lawful pressure” should be held as “illegitimate”. However, the court understands the consequences may follow due to the changes. Thus, this article intends to critically assess the position of duress in law of contract specifically looking at the situations when a lawful pressure may also become an illegitimate threat and hence suffice to vitiate a contract.
