¶ While we often look to other jurisdictions and learned treatises for guidance where Montana
case law is insufficient--as the briefs by both parties suggest we should--in this instance we in fact
find compelling authority in our own state reporter not cited by either party. In a similar case
involving sufficient notice, we affirmed a district court’s finding that a 10-day right of first
refusal found in a lease, premised on the giving of written notice "by registered mail, addressed
to Lessees at the said premises" was still insufficient where the tenants did not actually receive
the notice. Hill v. Zuckerman (1960), 138 Mont. 230, 236, 355 P.2d 521, 525.
