WILLIAMS v. WALKER-THOMAS FURNITURE COMPANY
United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit (1965) | 350 F.2d 445
TL;DR: Consumers challenged a furniture store's contract clause allowing repossession of all items ever purchased upon default on a single item. The court recognized unconscionability as a defense and remanded for findings.
Legal Significance: Established unconscionability, encompassing procedural (lack of meaningful choice) and substantive (unreasonably favorable terms) elements, as a common law defense to contract enforcement in the District of Columbia.
