Unconsciounability

Explanation:

In contract law, unconsciounability is a legal doctrine that establishes that contract terms which are extremely unfair or unjust for one of the parties are not enforceable. This unbalance must be generated by superior bargaining power and as its name suggests, is contrary to good conscience.

In this case, the car seller took advantage of Rajid's little knowledge of English and made him sign an extremely unfavorable contract.
