Notes

Consent in the law of contract assumes the free will (willingness) of the parties without any duress (violence), mistake or error. While duress shows absence of any coercion that forces the parties to enter into the contract, error and mistake shows that the parties had full information and knowledge about the nature of the subject of sale and the prevailing values they give for it.
