Description
This seminar will consider two different aspects of unconscionability. It will review recent developments in the Commonwealth on the doctrine of unconscionability, looking particularly at BOK v BOL (Singapore) and Thorne v Kennedy (Australia). It will also discuss the way that Singapore courts have applied unconscionability as an exception to the autonomy principle when granting injunctions to restrain calls on performance bonds, and the contractual devices adopted by applicants and beneficiaries to improve their position.
