Common commercial business issues involve breaches of contract. A breach of contract is when one party fails to adhere to the obligations that were agreed upon and established in the contract. Florida Statutes §672.301 – §672.328 lay out the foundations for contract law in Florida, including the general obligations of parties and what is considered an unconscionable contract or clause.
According to Florida Statutes §672.302, if the court “finds the contract or any clause of the contract to have been unconscionable at the time it was made the court may refuse to enforce the contract, or it may enforce the remainder of the contract without the unconscionable clause, or it may so limit the application of any unconscionable clause as to avoid any unconscionable result”.
Unfortunately, Florida law remains unclear on the definition of “unconscionable.” When a legal term is not established, the term is interpreted under its common-law meaning. In this case, “unconscionable” refers to when one party does not do what is right or reasonable. When a commercial dispute arises, it may not be immediately apparent when one party has failed to perform their obligations under the contract terms, nor when their actions were wrong or unreasonable. This is where a commercial litigation attorney can help.
