Barton v Armstrong
Duress to person - death threats - no need to prove 'but for' - they just had to be a cause
1 of 8
The Sibeon v The Sibotre
first case to recognise that duress of goods was possible - however it was not successful in this case
2 of 8
CTN Cash & Carry v Gallagher
Threat must be legitimate - the threat made in this case was lawful so economic duress could not be established
3 of 8
The Atlantic Baron
left their claim 8 months - so even tho economic duress was present - they had lost their right to rescind due to lapse of time

No economic duress where someone refuses to waive a contractual right - Total held all power but claimant knew what he was getting into
5 of 8
B + S Contracts and Design Ltd
