Section 5-19-16

Refusal by court to enforce unconscionable agreement.

With respect to a consumer credit transaction, if the court as a matter of law finds the contract or any provision of the contract to have been unconscionable at the time it was made, the court may refuse to enforce the contract, or it may enforce the remainder of the contract without the unconscionable provision, or it may so limit the application of any unconscionable provision as to avoid any unconscionable result.

(Acts 1971, No. 2052, p. 3290, §12; Acts 1996, No. 96-576, p. 887, §2.)
