There are many reasons a contract can be made void-too numerous to list here. The most common is that the contract was not legal in the first place i.e. the contract was not legal to the local, state or Federal Laws that pertain. Another reason could be failure to disclose information directly relating to the contract. The list is almost endless.

A contract can be voidable in the following situations:

1. Where it was entered into by a party based on a mistake, fraud or under duress (which can sometimes include economic duress).

2. A party lacked capacity to enter into the contract for example, he was a minor, or insane at the time he executed the contract.

3. A piece of legislation, for example consumer protection legislation, gives someone the right to avoid the contract.
