What type of contract is formed when one party is coerced into signing through drugged influence?

In the context of contracts, a party that is coerced into signing due to drugged influence does not have the capacity to enter into a contract voluntarily. This lack of capacity renders the contract void. A void contract is one that is invalid from the outset; it cannot be enforced by either party. In situations where one party is unable to understand the nature and consequences of their actions due to drug influence, the agreement lacks the essential elements required for a valid contract, specifically mutual assent and the ability to consent.

The concept of a void contract ensures that individuals who are incapacitated or manipulated cannot be held to agreements that they did not truly agree to in a free and informed manner. As such, it is recognized that such contracts do not have any legal effect, reinforcing the principle of protecting individuals from exploitation in contractual agreements.
