Supreme court ruling held that a note stamped ten percent interest and three hundred eighty percent after maturity as liquidated damages for nonpayment is not usurious. The penalty is enforceable. without fraud, collection of the penalty will not be enjoined by equity. The Chicago Legal News notes this aligns with prior state decisions. It cites common practice of higher post maturity interest clauses.
