21
What gave Walker-Thomas a right of replevin?
Title to remain in seller until all goods paid for Does it matter that Walker-Thomas filed
approximately 100 writs of replevin a year?
![Page 22: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Do we have a problem with this?
Is secured lending a problem?
![Page 23: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Do we have a problem with this?
Secured lending? UCC 9-201. General Validity of Security
Agreement. Except as otherwise provided by this Act, a security agreement* is effective according to its terms between the parties, against purchasers of the collateral and against creditors.
*A security agreement creates a security interest in collateral
![Page 24: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

26
And if the debtor defaults?
SP has the right to retake possession SP can resell and:
Account to debtor for surplus if the resale price exceeds the indebtedness
Sue for the deficiency if the resale price is less than the indebtedness
![Page 27: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
And if the debtor defaults?
In Williams v. Walker-Thomas, are we talking about a surplus or a deficiency?
![Page 28: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
What gave Walker-Thomas a right of replevin?
What was the “rather obscure clause” that permitted Walker-Thomas to repossess Mrs. Williams’ bed.
![Page 29: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
What gave Walker-Thomas a right of replevin?
How would you have drafted the clause?
![Page 30: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
What gave Walker-Thomas a right of replevin?
Suppose that, on the first loan, Walker-Thomas had taken a security interest in all the assets she acquired subsequently (from anyone)?
![Page 31: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
What gave Walker-Thomas a right of replevin?
Suppose Walker-Thomas had taken a security interest in all the assets she acquired subsequently (from anyone)? UCC 9-204: After-acquired property (A) … a
security agreement may create or provide for a security interest in after-acquired collateral.
![Page 32: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

33
What gave Walker-Thomas a right of replevin?
But cf. 9-204(b)(1) A security interest does not attach under a term constituting an after-acquired property clause to consumer goods Why is that?
![Page 34: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Quinn on vitiating factors
What is the difference between “a lack of meeting of the minds” and “contracts against public policy,” per Quinn J.
![Page 35: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Substantive vs. Procedural Unconscionability
No “meeting of the minds” a matter of procedural unconscionability
But there’s still a question of substantive unconscionability
![Page 36: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Substantive vs. Procedural Unconscionability
Substantive: The clause is never enforceable, even if agreed to consciously by a person of full capacity
Procedural: The clause is enforceable if agreed to consciously by a person of full capacity, but not otherwise
![Page 37: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Substantive Unconscionability
Are there some bargains that are so vicious that they should be outlawed, even if the parties consent to them? How does one tell? Give me an example….
![Page 38: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Substantive Unconscionability
Are there some bargains that are so vicious that they should be outlawed, even if the parties consent to them? Is Walker-Thomas an example of this?
![Page 39: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Recall UCC § 9-204(b)(1)
A security interest does not attach under a term constituting an after-acquired property clause to consumer goods
![Page 40: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Substantive Unconscionability
Why did Walker-Thomas insert the clause in the contract? Can you think why Walker-Thomas might
want a right to repossess five year old household junk?
![Page 41: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Substantive Unconscionability
Aquinas on the just price Leff on “Thomist Unconscionability”
![Page 42: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Substantive Unconscionability
When you say you are troubled by a contract, as a matter of public policy, just what have you said?
![Page 43: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Procedural Unconscionability and Williams
Don’t enforce if there is no “meeting of the minds”
![Page 44: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Procedural Unconscionability
A meeting of the minds? Why might Mrs. Williams rationally have
agreed to the clause?
![Page 45: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Procedural Unconscionability
How would you expect Walker-Thomas to react if the clause is banned?
![Page 46: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
So what kind of unconscionability are we talking about in Walker-Thomas?
![Page 47: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
In the DC Circuit: Skelly Wright
47
Where did he get the unconscionability doctrine from?
![Page 48: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
What do you infer from the subsequent adoption of UCC § 2-302(1)?
If the court as a matter of law finds the contract or any clause of the contract to have been unconscionable at the time it was made the court may refuse to enforce the contract, or it may enforce the remainder of the contract without the unconscionable clause, or it may so limit the application of any unconscionable clause as to avoid any unconscionable result.

55
An “absence of meaningful choice”?
Did it matter that she made the purchase in her house?
![Page 56: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
“Gross inequality of bargaining power”
Is the inequality greater when you purchase at Macy’s?
![Page 57: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
“Gross inequality of bargaining power”
57
OMG!!!
$12.99!!!
I think we can do better than that, don’t you?
“An absence of meaningful choice” unless we can dicker?
![Page 58: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
58
“Gross inequality of bargaining power”
If there is inequality, how would you expect the merchant to exploit his power?
![Page 59: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Procedural Unconscionability
Is her poverty relevant?
![Page 60: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
60
Procedural Unconscionability
Is her poverty relevant? You mean we let poor people enter into
contracts!?!
![Page 61: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
61
Procedural Unconscionability
Do you want to argue that Mrs. Williams was a person of diminished capacity?
![Page 62: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
62
Procedural Unconscionability
Do you want to argue that Mrs. Williams was a person of diminished capacity? An “obvious … lack of education”?
![Page 63: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
63
Procedural Unconscionability
Do you think, as an empirical matter, that all people stand on the same footing when it comes to bargaining ability or judgment?
![Page 64: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
64
Procedural Unconscionability
Do you think, as an empirical matter, that all people stand on the same footing when it comes to bargaining ability or judgment? And would legal consequences follow
from this?
![Page 65: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
65
Corrective and Distributive Justice
How would you decide the case as a matter of corrective justice? Of distributive justice?
![Page 66: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
66
Distributive Justice
How would Aristotle allocate goods as a matter of distributive justice?
![Page 67: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
67
Distributive Justice
How would Aristotle allocate goods as a matter of distributive justice?
And what is merit?
![Page 68: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
68
Corrective JusticeHow would this apply in contract law?
This kind of injustice being an inequality, the judge tries to equalize it; for in the case also in which one has received and the other has inflicted a wound, or one has slain and the other been slain, the suffering and the action have been unequally distributed; but the judge tries to equalize by means of the penalty, taking away from the gain of the assailant….
![Page 69: George Mason School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56813f44550346895da9f472/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
69
Corrective JusticeHow would this apply in contract law?
These names, both loss and gain, have come from voluntary exchange; for to have more than one's own is called gaining, and to have less than one's original share is called losing, e.g. in buying and selling and in all other matters in which the law has left people free to make their own terms; but when they get neither more nor less but just what belongs to themselves, they say that they have their own and that they neither lose nor gain.
Therefore the just is intermediate between a sort of gain and a sort of loss, viz. those which are involuntary; it consists in having an equal amount before and after the transaction.

Corrective JusticeHow would this apply in contract law?
Suppose we abandon the idea of zero-sum transactions, and apply the idea of corrective justice to fraud or unconscionability?
