Judicial Department rules debtors relief acts unconstitutional
The Richmond County Superior Court's opinion holds the Georgia acts to alleviate debtor distress and to grant temporary relief to soldiers violate the U.S. Constitution by impairing the obligation of contracts and denying equal justice. It reasons that suspending civil processes undermines legal remedies, while exemptions for banks and certain institutions create unequal treatment, opposing the spirit of equal rights.
