Pharmacy Care Systems Ltd v Attorney-General (2004) 17 PRNZ 308 is a cited case in New Zealand regarding the seven elements of duress.

[1] Pharmacy Care set up a high volume, low margin service to supply government institutions.

This resulted in North Health calling in an investigator, as well as with holding monies it owed from Pharmacy Care.

The Court of Appeal found no evidence that North Health had threatened a fraud prosecution.

And even if it had found such evidence, the delay of 3+1⁄2 years in challenging the agreement amounted to affirmation of the contract.
