Opposing A Claim That A Contract Is Unjust - Contracts Review Act

Defending a claim that a contract is unjust requires close consideration of each of the elements required to prove a case. 

Usually, there are some obvious defences that may apply such as when: -

  • the contract is not of a type that attracts the jurisdiction;
  • the claim is brought outside of the time limit required;
  • none of the factors that might make a contract unjust are present. 

It may also be possible to argue, once the jurisdiction is enlivened, that in the exercise of the discretion the court should not make the orders.
