Usury ruling voids home repair contract in Arkansas
Arkansas Supreme Court voided a 1600 dollar home repair contract between Saline County couple and Des Moines firm Republic Finance Co. The court ruled the contract violated the state usury limit, since 7 percent interest plus carrying charges exceeded ten percent. The Benton signed contract had payments to Des Moines, with dispute over whether the contract was Arkansas or Iowa law. The decision affects subsequent cases and clarifies where the contract was executed for usury purposes.
