20 years of experience in county court civil litigation and consumer

Agreed, although I am slightly surprised there is not an angle of attack
in the unfair contract terms legislation - since he was pushed into
agreeing to a contract without first having sight of it.

Think you'd have to go a few courts higher to argue that. Sadly, it's
often the case that if you sign to having agreed to conditions you're
stuck with them - even if they later seem unfair.

There was a recent one on the radio - someone had booked a holiday and
paid by credit card. The hotel was rubbish and totally misrepresented in
the blurb, but the credit card company refused to help because 'terms and
conditions' had been signed.
