unconscionability in contracts

Unconscionability in contracts refers to situations where one party’s terms are so unfair or one-sided that they shock the conscience of the court. It typically involves a significant imbalance of power, unfair bargaining, or oppressive terms that leave one party with little choice but to accept. Courts may refuse to enforce such contracts or specific provisions to prevent injustice. Essentially, unconscionability ensures that contracts remain fair and that no party is exploited due to extreme unfairness or deception.
