Hosts: Jay Jagasia & Sam Parsons
Commercial actors regularly find themselves between a rock and a hard place. Sometimes agreements struck between parties in the heat of the moment will be devoid of consent – the necessary ingredient for making such contracts binding. The question of whether a contract is voidable on grounds of duress – or is simply a bad bargain – can often turn on subtle distinctions.
Join Jay Jagasia and Sam Parsons for a fresh look at lawful act duress through the lens of the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Pakistan International Airline Corp v Times Travel.
Related topics will include the legitimacy of demands made by offerors, the problem of ‘known unknowns’ for offerees, and transatlantic perspectives on implied good faith terms.
