Contracts
A North Dakota purchase agreement is 'void' (as opposed to 'voidable') when:
AOne party is a minor
BThe contract was signed under duress
CThe contract is for an illegal purpose✓ Correct
DOne party lacks mental capacity
Explanation
A void contract has no legal effect from the outset, as if it never existed. Contracts for illegal purposes are void. Contracts involving minors, duress, or mental incapacity are voidable (can be affirmed or disaffirmed by the protected party) rather than automatically void.
