Solution

Answer

The answer is undue influence.

Explanation
Duress

Duress involves coercion or threats to force someone into a contract. In this scenario, there is no indication that Camilla used threats or coercion to influence her father's decision.

Innocent misrepresentation

Innocent misrepresentation occurs when one party makes a false statement that they believe to be true, which induces the other party to enter into a contract. Camilla's actions are not innocent; she is intentionally misleading her father for personal gain.

Mutual mistake

A mutual mistake happens when both parties to a contract are mistaken about a fundamental fact. In this case, only Camilla is aware of the true financial situation, so it is not a mutual mistake.

Undue influence

Undue influence involves taking advantage of a position of power over another person to influence their decisions. Camilla, as her father's legal guardian, is in a position of power and is using that influence to mislead her father into buying a less expensive condo for her own financial benefit. This fits the definition of undue influence.
