“In order that a party may free himself from complying with an agreement he had entered into, he must show that the bargain or some of its terms was unfair and unconscionable. It is not enough to show that, in the eyes of the court, it was unreasonable. A bargain cannot be unfair and unconscionable unless it is shown that one of the parties to it has imposed an objectionable term in a morally reprehensible manner, that is to say, in a way which affects his conscience or has procured the bargain by some unfair means.” Fui Lian Credit & Leasing Sdn Bld v Kim Leong Timber Sdn Bhd & Ors [1991] 1 CLJ 522 per Chong Siew Fai J (as His Lordship then was)
