Abstract

The doctrine of unconscionable bargains doctrine continues to be a viable source of relief for those who have entered into inequitable agreements as a result of an opposing party’s impropriety. When compared to other jurisdictions, however, it is shown that the conditions placed by the English courts on the third Lobb requirement, that is, the claimant needing to prove “oppressive and overreaching” contractual terms, which also “shock the conscience of the court,” have constituted a shield against this form of relief, deeming the doctrine’s use ineffective within English law.
