The buyers entered into installment contracts with the furniture company for the sale of furniture. The buyers defaulted on payments that were due to the company, and the district court granted judgment in favor of the company. On appeal, the buyers contended that their contracts with the company were unenforceable due to unconscionability. After noting both that Congress had enacted D.C. Code Ann. § 2-302 (Supp. 1965) of the Uniform Commercial Code and that a court had authority to refuse to enforce a contract found to be unconscionable at the time it was made, the court reviewed the contract to consider the contract's terms in light of the general commercial background and the commercial needs of the particular trade or case.
