  1. First Interst. Comm. Mortgage v. Hinshaw Culbertson

    Case No. 95 C 3867 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 25, 1998)

    The pressure applied must have been wrongful or unlawful; mere hard bargaining is not enough. Linn, 671 F. Supp. at 556, 559. Moreover, a party's threat to assert its legal rights does not rise to the level of duress unless it involves some abuse of the legal process.Thelin v. Mitchell, 576 F. Supp. 1404, 1408 (N.D. Ill. 1983);Enslen v. Village of Lombard, 470 N.E.2d 1188, 1190-91 (Ill.App.Ct. 1984). The facts of this case do not present a situation of economic duress.
