Genuine advantage is a term used in contract law to describe a situation in which one party to a contract has an unfair advantage over the other party. This can occur for a variety of reasons, such as one party having superior knowledge or experience, or one party being in a position of power over the other.
Avoiding genuine advantage is important to ensure that both parties to a contract are treated fairly. If one party has an unfair advantage, they may be able to negotiate a contract that is more favorable to them, which could lead to the other party suffering a loss.
