While at home, the very elderly Ethel Smith, who is under a legal guardianship, answers her door and is solicited by fly$-$by$-$night Jake's Swimming Pool Company, who, using a written contract with hidden terms and by threats of violence manages to get her to sign the contract and give him a deposit of $$10,000.$ Jake has no contractor's license at the time $--$ a violation of the state's criminal and civil codes that forbid contractors from contracting without a license. When her nephew and guardian, Teddy Bear, finds out about the transaction, he sues Jake, seeking rescission of contract and restitution of the deposit. Which provides a defense and basis for the remedies Teddy is seeking under these facts?

Illegality

Unconscionability
