§ 108. § 2A—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) of this section,
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) of this section,
the court shall award reasonable attorney’s fees to the lessee. (b) If the court does not find unconscionability and the lessee claiming unconscionability
has brought or maintained an action he or she knew to be groundless, the court shall
award reasonable attorney’s fees to the party against whom the claim is made. (c) In determining attorney’s fees, the amount of the recovery on behalf of the claimant
under subsections (1) and (2) of this section is not controlling. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.)
