Aspects of Unconscionable Contract

An unconscionable contract is an agreement that is so unfair or one-sided that it shocks the conscience. This often happens when one party has significantly more power or information than the other, leading to an exploitative situation. Key aspects include a lack of meaningful choice for the weaker party and the presence of terms that are excessively unfair or oppressive. Courts may refuse to enforce such contracts to protect individuals from being taken advantage of, particularly in contexts like consumer goods, employment, or loans, to ensure fairness in agreements.
