An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm.

Extenuating circumstances make it impossible for you to complete the course before the end of the semester. In order to receive an incomplete, the student and the instructor must agree to a contract stipulating the work the student must complete and the time in which it must be completed for the student to receive a grade in the class. The contract time varies as set by the instructor but may not exceed one year.
A contract will be considered void, for example, when it requires one party to perform an act that is impossible or illegal. A voidable contract, on the other hand, is a valid contract and can be enforced. Usually only one party is bound to the contract terms in a voidable contract.The unbound party is allowed to cancel the contract, which makes the contract void.he main difference between the two is that a void contract cannot be performed under the law, while a voidable contract can still be performed, although the unbound party to the contract can choose to void it before the other party performs.
