Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moe's use of physical threats is coercion and renders the contract voidable at the option of Norel. She can choose to rescind the contract or refuse to comply with its terms. Doing nothing or relying on other parties to cover the cost of protection is not a viable option in this situation.
