6. Unconscionability, Undue Influence, and Duress
=== 6. Unconscionability, Undue Influence, and Duress ===
Unconscionability, undue influence, and duress can all make a contract voidable. There are two requirements for unconscionability: an imbalance in the relationship of the parties, and an imbalance in the contract. Unconscionability is also dealt with in the ''BPCPA'', ss 8-10. See ''Morrison v Coast Finance Ltd'' (1965) , 54 WWR 257, 55 DLR (2d) 710 (BCCA) and ''Harry v Kreutziger'' (1978) , 95 DLR 93d(d) 231 for examples of unconscionability. Undue influence is the abuse of a relationship of trust and confidence to strongly influence another to make a contract. See ''Geffen v Goodman Estate'' (, [1991) ] 2 SCR 353 , [1991] 5 WWR 389 for an example of undue influence. Duress is the coercion of the will to the point where it vitiates consent.
