§ 1310.06.
(A) If a 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, may enforce the remainder of the lease contract without the unconscionable
clause, or may so limit the application of the unconscionable clause as to avoid any
unconscionable result. (B) With respect to a consumer lease, if a 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. (C) Before making a finding of unconscionability under division (A) or (B) of this section,
a 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, a clause of the lease contract, or the conduct of the parties. (D) In an action in which the lessee claims unconscionability with respect to a consumer
lease, all of the following apply: (1) If the court finds unconscionability under division (A) or (B) of this section, the
court shall award reasonable attorney's fees to the lessee. (2) If the court does not find unconscionability under division (A) or (B) of this section
and the lessee claiming unconscionability has brought or maintained an action he knew
to be groundless, the court shall award reasonable attorney's fees to the party against
whom the claim is made. (3) In determining reasonable attorney's fees, the amount of the recovery on behalf of
the claimant under division (A) or (B) of this section is not controlling.
