- W4312957071 abstract "Abstract This chapter discusses the doctrines of duress, undue influence and unconscionable bargain, with a particular focus on how Hong Kong law has evolved from its English heritage. The doctrine of duress in Hong Kong law broadly follows that in England, and requires the entry into a transaction as the result of illegitimate pressure. Such pressure is typically exerted through unlawful threats, though lawful threats that go far beyond reasonable pressure also suffice. In relation to undue influence, Hong Kong differs from English law in not relying on presumptions to establish such influence, but instead considers the ‘totality of evidence’ to decide whether undue influence has been exercised. As regards unconscionable bargain, Hong Kong accepts a broader scope of relief for parties in a ‘serious disadvantage’, and does not confine itself to the English doctrine that requires the party concerned to be ‘poor and ignorant’. The common law position is also reinforced by the Unconscionable Contracts Ordinance, which is drawn upon consumer protection legislation in Australia, and has been interpreted in line with the latest Australian statute." @default.
