Oklahoma Code Comment

This section displaces for leases of goods the general provisions of 16 Oklahoma Statutes §§ 137 and 166. It is doubtful, however, that the results of any cases will be altered. For example, see Albert & Harlow, Inc. v. Fitzgerald, 389 P.2d 994 ((Okla.1964)) (evidence of asserted right to return leased property after 60 days when lease provided a minimum rental period of 90 days is excluded).

The 1991 amendments make no change here.

This section is set out more than once due to postponed, multiple, or conflicting amendments.
