Practice question: Compensation

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

Reciprocal debts otherwise qualify but one is merely voidable and has not been judicially avoided. Is that label alone an absolute obstacle under 1284?
  1. Yes; voidable always means already annulled.
  2. Only the creditor’s title determines validity.
  3. Every voidable debt is necessarily a criminal fine.
  4. No; the article allows the stated compensation before judicial avoidance.
  5. No contract can ever be voidable.
