Sec. 42a-2A-106. Limitation on power of parties to consumer lease to choose
applicable law or judicial forum. (a) A choice-of-law term in a consumer lease contract
is not enforceable if the law chosen is that of a jurisdiction other than one in which the
lessee resides at the time the lease agreement becomes enforceable or within thirty days
thereafter or in which the goods are to be used.
(b) The parties may choose an exclusive judicial forum. However, in a consumer
lease, the law of the forum is governed by subsection (d) of section 51-345 and any
choice of forum in a term of a consumer lease must comply with said section. A choice
of forum in a term of an agreement is not exclusive unless the agreement expressly so
provides.
