Contratos y EjecuciónPregunta 862 de 1632
'Undue influence' as a ground to rescind a contract typically involves:
a.A threat of unlawful harm that leaves no reasonable alternative but to sign
b.A mistaken belief about a basic fact that both parties shared
c.A knowing misrepresentation of a material fact that the other party believes
d.Unfair persuasion of a party who trusts or depends on the other
Explicación
Civil Code §1575 defines undue influence as taking an unfair advantage of another's weakness of mind, or using a real or apparent authority or a confidential relationship to get an unfair advantage: consent is given, but not freely, so the contract is voidable. The distractors are its three siblings on the §1567 list of defects in consent — (a) is duress (§1569), (c) is actual fraud (§1572), and (b) is mistake of fact (§1577). All four make a contract voidable; only undue influence turns on a relationship of trust or dominance rather than on a threat, a lie, or an error.
