Referee Rules Against Usurers in Bankruptcy Case
Birmingham February 9 Special Judge Ferguson a bankruptcy referee issued an opinion on petitions in bankruptcy involving small or insufficient amounts. The ruling challenges usurious lenders, especially those who seize wages. The case centers on a rule to show cause why an assignment of wages by a bankrupt worker should be withdrawn. The creditor argued the bankrupt had no special interest to file, but the court found the argument insufficient. The decision holds that the bankrupt retains special interest in the claim even after adjudication, and undermines wage assignment practices by lenders at high rates.
