Per minas, in British common law, to engage in behavior "by means of menaces or threats".
The term comes from Latin.
Per minas has been used as a defense of duress to certain crimes, as affecting the element of mens rea. William Blackstone, the often-cited judge and legal scholar, addressed the use of "duress per minas" under the category of self-defense as a means of securing the "right of personal security", that is, the right of self-defense.
The classic case involves a person who is blackmailed into robbing a bank.
In contract law, Blackstone used per minas to describe the defense of duress, as affecting the element of contract intent, mutual assent, or meeting of the minds.
