A contract is voidable on the ground of duress and coercion where the party making the claim was forced to agree to it by means of a wrongful threat precluding the exercise of free will. Generalized contentions that a party felt pressured are insufficient. As a matter of law, the exercise or threatened exercise of a legal right is not duress.
