Facts: The plaintiff contracted to erect stands at Olympia for the defendant. A week before the exhibition the plaintiff’s workman went on strike, refusing to return to work until a pay demand was met. The plaintiff told the defendant that unless the defendant paid an additional £4,500 the contract would be cancelled. The plaintiff made it clear that the amount to be paid was to be in addition to the contract price. The defendant paid the amount demanded as the cancellation of the contract would have caused serious damage to the defendant's economic interests. At the end of the contract, the defendant deducted the £4,500 from the contract price. The plaintiff claimed the balance. It was held that the plaintiff had agreed to make the extra payment under duress.
