Heading: the propriety of the january 6 contract under the retail installment sales act

Text: Here, Murnion argues that the January 6 contract does not state the true cash sales price of the loader and does not describe the buyer's downpayment in sufficient detail, violations of Section 31-1-231(5)(a) and (b), MCA. This issue, also raised after trial in the defendant's post-trial memorandum, is without merit. There is no dispute that the January 6 agreement represents a renewal of earlier obligations which are evidenced by writings and which were offered into evidence by Murnion himself. All the written agreements, taken together, adequately described all the relevant terms of purchase and payment for the loader, such that the relevant provisions of Section 31-1-231 are satisfied. It is more than a little questionable for Murnion to challenge the legality of a contract when the other documents supplementing and explaining it were known to him. The judgment of the District Court is affirmed. HARRISON, SHEA, WEBER and MORRISON, JJ., concur.
