Vermont § 2385 - Unconscionability

§ 2385. Unconscionability

• (a) If a court finds an agricultural finance lease, or any clause of a lease, to have
  been unconscionable at the time it was made, the court may refuse to enforce the entire
  lease or enforce the remainder of the agricultural finance lease without the unconscionable
  clause, or it may limit the application of any unconscionable clause to avoid an unconscionable
  result. (b) If a court finds that an agricultural finance lease or any clause of a lease 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 on unconscionability under subsection (a) or (b) 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, or of the conduct. (Added 1989, No. 284 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 2011, No. 136 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. May 18, 2012.)
