In the legal English classes we don»t just do boring exercises, there is also alot of speaking around legal topics.
For example a popular topic this week, with the students has been the concept of «lawful act» duress.
This is where, to name one instance, one can have a contract set aside if the other party got you to enter into the contract
by, for example, threatening to report your non-declaration of tax.
There is nothing wrong legally speaking with threatening to report someone for non-payment of tax, but you cannot use this threat to make someone sign a contract.
This 2021 case, decided in the UK Supreme Court (formerly the House of Lords) reiterated the fact that inequality of bargaining positions and the absence of good faith were not enough to constitute duress.
