2-A-108 - Unconscionability.

Section 2-A-108. Unconscionability.    (1)  If  the  court  as  a matter of law finds a lease contract or any  clause of a lease contract to have been unconscionable at  the  time  it  was  made  the court may refuse to enforce the lease contract, or it may  enforce the remainder of the lease contract without  the  unconscionable  clause,  or it may so limit the application of any unconscionable clause  as to avoid any unconscionable result.    (2) With respect to a consumer lease, if the court as a matter of  law  finds  that  a lease contract or any clause of a lease contract has been  induced by unconscionable conduct or  that  unconscionable  conduct  has  occurred in the collection of a claim arising from a lease contract, the  court may grant appropriate relief.    (3)  Before making a finding of unconscionability under subsection (1)  or (2), the court, on its own motion or that of a  party,  shall  afford  the  parties  a  reasonable  opportunity  to  present evidence as to the  setting, purpose, and effect of the lease contract or clause thereof, or  of the conduct.    (4) In an action in which the  lessee  claims  unconscionability  with  respect to a consumer lease:         (a) if  the court finds unconscionability under subsection (1) or             (2), the court shall award reasonable attorney's fees to  the             lessee.         (b) in  determining  attorney's  fees,  the amount of recovery on             behalf of the claimant under subsections (1) and (2)  is  not             controlling.
