Counsel for Mathew Lindsay: draft a letter to Uber outlining why you believe the contract is voidable (use the appropriate legal terms).

Some things to consider:

What makes a contract a contract and not just an agreement (offer and acceptance, consideration, intention, legality) do we have proper offer and acceptance and were the terms communicated effectively and completely, etc.

Were there any elements of misrepresentation, or one-sided bargaining inequalities (duress, undue influence, unconscionability)?

When is a contract voidable where the person is incapacitated by alcohol and what does the victim have to prove to void the contract and when must they follow through on the obligation?
