Due Date: 11:59 p.m. EST, Sunday of Unit 6
Points: 100
Overview:
In this unit, we have been examining under what grounds a
contract may be rescinded
or declared void and voidable. This assignment asks you to
review a hypothetical
business situation and conduct an analysis.
Instructions:
Consider the following hypothetical: Ed contracted with Becky

17. to build a house.
Immediately prior to that meeting, Becky was so nervous that
she drank an entire bottle
of champagne and she does not remember all of the details of
the meeting. Shortly
before the closing, Ed met with Becky, accused her of fraud and
threated to prevent the
contract from going to closing. Ed’s associate, a former stunt
double for Dwayne “the
Rock” Johnson, stood outside the door for two hours to prevent
Becky from leaving. Ed
gave Becky the choice of signing a new contract promising him
more money for the
build or going to court. Becky signed the agreement but now has
sought legal advice.
• Imagine that you are Becky’s attorney. What would you tell
her about whether
she can rescind the contract? (Big Hint: Capacity to Contract,
Duress and Undue
Influence)
Requirements:
• Include one resource, in addition to the textbook.
o Use APA format for non-legal sources such as the textbook.
Use
Bluebook citation format for any legal citations.
• Submit a Word document.
• Maximum two pages in length, excluding the Reference page.
