What is Undue Influence?

What is Undue Influence?

An individual is said to exercise an undue influence over another if he takes advantage of the relationship he has with the other individual or his position to influence their decisions. 

Undue influence often occurs when there is inequity in power and status between parties. Generally it involves a situation in which one party tries to dominate or change other people's decisions due to the influence he has over them.
