Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Without the option of relying on the doctrine of unconscionability, Raven would need to rely on traditional legal defenses. Of the options given, fraud is the most likely to apply in this situation, as Raven may argue that Tender Fruits induced them to enter into the contract through misrepresentations or other fraudulent behavior. Materiality and mistake may also be relevant, but fraud is the strongest option. Value is not a relevant legal defense in this context.
