MT Code § 25-9-706 (2021)
2021 Montana Code Annotated|Title 25. Civil Procedure|Chapter 9. Judgment|Part 7. Uniform Foreign-Money Claims Act|25-9-706. Determining amount of money of certain contract claims

  25-9-706. Determining amount of money of certain contract claims. (1) If an amount contracted to be paid in a foreign money is measured by a specified amount of a different money, the amount to be paid is determined on the conversion date.   (2) If an amount contracted to be paid in a foreign money is to be measured by a different money at the rate of exchange prevailing on a date before default, that rate of exchange applies only to payments made within a reasonable time after default, not exceeding 30 days. Thereafter, conversion is made at the bank-offered spot rate on the conversion date.   (3) A monetary claim is neither usurious nor unconscionable because the agreement on which it is based provides that the amount of the debtor's obligation to be paid in the debtor's money, when received by the creditor, must equal a specified amount of the foreign money of the country of the creditor. If, because of unexcused delay in payment of a judgment or award, the amount received by the creditor does not equal the amount of the foreign money specified in the agreement, the court or arbitrator shall amend the judgment or award accordingly.   History: En. Sec. 6, Ch. 152, L. 1993.

(4) The determination of the proper money of the claim is a question of law.   History: En. Sec. 7, Ch. 152, L. 1993.

(6) A judgment substantially in the following form complies with subsection (1):   IT IS ADJUDGED AND ORDERED, that Defendant (insert name) pay to Plaintiff (insert name) the sum of (insert amount in the foreign money) plus interest on that sum at the rate of (insert rate - see 25-9-710) % a year or, at the option of the judgment debtor, the number of United States dollars that will purchase the (insert name of foreign money) with interest due, at a bank-offered spot rate at or near the close of business on the banking day before the day of payment, together with assessed costs of (insert amount) United States dollars.   (7) If a contract claim is of the type covered by 25-9-706(1) or (2), the judgment or award must be entered for the amount of money stated to measure the obligation to be paid in the money specified for payment or, at the option of the debtor, the number of United States dollars that will purchase the computed amount of the money of payment on the conversion date at a bank-offered spot rate.
