Highlight

A settlement agreement is unconscionable if there are procedural abuses arising out of the contract formation and substantive abuses relating to the terms of the agreement.
The involvement of only one attorney is troubling, but that fact alone does not conclusively establish an agreement is unconscionable.
A party having capacity and opportunity to read a contract without being misled as to its contents cannot avoid the contract by claiming he has not read it.
