The Doctrine of Unconscionability

The Doctrine of Unconscionability is a legal principle that protects consumers from unfair contracts. It applies when one party takes advantage of another's lack of knowledge, experience, or bargaining power, resulting in a contract that is grossly unfair or oppressive. Courts can refuse to enforce such agreements if they find that the terms are one-sided to the extent that they shock the conscience. This doctrine ensures fairness in contractual relationships and promotes equitable dealings between parties.
