Contracts Review Act 1980 (NSW)

The Contracts Review Act 1980 (NSW) allows courts to set aside or modify certain contracts that are deemed unjust or oppressive, especially if they involve unfair terms, undue influence, or unconscionable conduct. Its purpose is to protect parties from unfair contractual arrangements, particularly in situations where one party has significantly more power or advantage. The Act applies mainly to contracts that are still capable of being enforced and aims to promote fairness and prevent exploitation in contractual dealings.
