Detailed explanation-1: -A contract can be declared unenforceable if a court is convinced that coercion was used to facilitate the signing. An example would be if blackmail was used as leverage to facilitate the contract. Courts can also declare a contract unenforceable when one of the parties to the contract has undue influence on the other.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Nature of a Contract To be legally enforceable, an agreement must contain all of the following criteria: An offer and acceptance; Certainty of terms; Consideration; An intention to create legal relations; Capacity of the parties; and, Legality of purpose.
Detailed explanation-3: -For a contract to be enforceable, both parties must have the capacity to understand the terms of the contract. What makes a contract unenforceable is when one party doesn’t understand the terms or how they will be bound by it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Void Contract Or Agreement The section 2(j) of the Act defines a void contract as “A contract which ceases to be enforceable by law becomes void when it ceases to be enforceable”. This makes all those contracts that are not enforceable by a court of law as void.
