Question

What are the effects of coercion on a contract? Explain in detail.

Answer 1

Answer:

1] Coercion (Section 15)

Now the effect of coercion is that it makes the contract voidable. This means the contract is voidable at the option of the party whose consent was not free. So the aggravated party will decide whether to perform the contract or to void the contract.

Answer 2

Type coercion is a means to convert one data type to another. For example, parsing the Java String "42" to the Integer 42 would be coercion. Or more simply, converting a Long 42 to a Double 42.0. Cascading supports primitive type coercions natively through the cascading.
