Justice of the Peace (JP)
Referring to a contract or bargain which is so unfair to a party that no reasonable or informed person would agree to it. in a suit for breach of contract, a court will not enforce an unconscionable contract (award damages or order specific performance) against the person unfairly treated, on the theory that he/she was misled, lacked information or signed under duress or misunderstanding. it is similar to an “adhesion contract,” in which one party has taken advantage of a person dealing from weakness.
