Unconscionable Conduct

Unconscionable conduct refers to actions that are morally or ethically unjustifiable, especially when one party takes advantage of another’s vulnerability or lack of understanding. In a legal context, it involves unfair, harsh, or oppressive behavior that shocks the conscience, such as exploiting someone’s desperation or limited bargaining power. Courts may intervene to prevent or remedy such conduct, ensuring fairness and preventing abuse in agreements or transactions. Essentially, it’s conduct that is considered deeply unfair or unjust, beyond ordinary breaches of contract.
