Answer to Question #142199 in Law for lebo

Question

Bob is willing to sell his car for 60 000. However, a prospective buyer, Mr Shandy, comes up to the seller and holds a guy to Bob's head, and says, 'if you do not sell me this car for 20 000, i will kill you.' Bob hands over the car keys and accepts the R20.000. Advice Bob of whether this contract of sale is valid

Answer 1

This is a critical issue, whether Bob will save his life or make an invalid sale. For a contract to be reflected as a legally binding document, there are some key facts that should be in place, for instance, the fact that it must be an inscribed document that is signed by both entities. The contract at this point is a void agreement, because a void contract is an official contract that is efficiently unlawful and unenforceable from the minute it.
