Coercion is used by Ashby as she threatened to withhold your promotion if you don’t make the appointment.
<h3>What is Coercion?</h3>
The Indian Contract Act's Section 15 defines coercion as "committing or threatening to commit any act prohibited by the Indian Penal Code, or unlawfully detaining, or threatening to detain, any property, to the prejudice of any person whatsoever, with the intention of causing any person to enter into an agreement."
<h3>Give an example of Coercion.</h3>
For instance, if B refuses to sell his house to A for 5 lakh rupees, A may threaten to harm him. Here, even if B sells the house to A, the agreement won't be enforceable because B's cooperation was coerced. Now, coercion has the result of rendering the contract void.
