Roberts owned a fish and chip shop in Farrington fair market place in Perth they wanted to sell their business but the lease was up for renewal they were also involved in another quite separate legal dispute with the shopping center owners they asked the owners to renew their lease with a condition allowing them to transfer the lease to any new owner of the fish O's the owner came back and said we'll give you the lease you want but only if you cease your involvement in the other legal action the a Triple C took action arguing that the owners conduct was unconscionable within the meaning of section 51 capital a capital a of the Trade Practices Act 1974 which said a corporation must not in trade or commerce engage in conduct that is unconscionable within the meaning of the unwritten law the unwritten law of course means equity law the a Triple C view was that the negotiation between the Roberts and the owners was unreasonable because of the massive imbalance in bargaining power was this unconscionable conduct well the High Court said no they said it's entirely normal for there to be unequal bargaining power in a commercial deal and that unconscionable conduct is there to prevent people taking advantage of a special disadvantage not a normal one justices Gummo and haines said the special disadvantage is one seriously affecting the ability of the innocent party to make a judgement as to that party's own best interests mr. and mrs.
