Navajo Nation Court of Appeals May 2, 1983, No. A-CV-03-80 (General Electric Credit Corp. v. Becenti)

The situation before the court is a common one to the field of consumer law. A consumer purchases something under a retail installment contract, something goes wrong, there is an action to repossess the article, and the consumer defends using consumer protection laws. This of course requires the court to interpret the applicable statutes which provide modern consumer protection.
