Unconscionable Conduct

When you enter into a bargain, whilst under a special disadvantage (e.g. inexperienced), and the other party knows about this then it may perhaps lead to the contract being rescinded. 

The issue arises in many different ways such as when wifes sign guarantees for husbands or when lenders know the borrowers do not understand english sufficiently well etc. 

It is also possible that there may be statutory remedies for setting aside a contract and in that regard the legislation sets out the factors that can be considered. 

To find out if your contract can be rescinded, or to get help defending such a claim, contact us to book a conference to discuss how the facts of your case apply to the law concerning unconscionable conduct.
