The plaintiff brought a motion for summary judgment against the defendant for $67,408.88 owing on two equipment leases for vending machines.
The defendant, an unsophisticated retired nurse, argued the leases were unconscionable, she lacked mental capacity due to a brain tumor, and she was induced by misrepresentations from third-party vendors involved in a scam.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the complex issues of unconscionability, capacity, and due diligence required a full trial with viva voce evidence to achieve a fair and just determination.
