1. A contracting party may request the annulment of the contract on grounds of coercion if they contracted under the influence of fear unlawfully instilled by the other contracting party. Fear shall be deemed to exist if the circumstances lead the party invoking it to perceive that a serious and imminent danger threatens them or another, whether materially or morally, in relation to life, the body, honour, property, or otherwise, and where the coerced party would not have concluded the contract but for the existence of coercion. 2. In assessing coercion, due regard shall be had to the gender, age, social and health condition of the person subjected thereto, and any other circumstance that may affect the gravity of the coercion.
