unconscionability test
The unconscionability test evaluates whether a contract or specific terms are so one-sided or unfair that they shock the conscience of the court. It considers factors like whether one party had significantly unequal bargaining power, understood the terms, and was pressured or misled into agreement. If a contract is found unconscionable, it may be declared invalid or unenforceable. Essentially, courts use this test to prevent exploitation and protect individuals from unjust agreements that disproportionately favor one side at the expense of fairness and justice.
