Georgia Court May Revisit Industrial Loan Act
The Georgia Court of Appeals suggests the Legislature may review the Industrial Loan Act to address usury concerns. The ruling favored Willie and Hetty Jean Robinson on a technical point, keeping the 1947 interest method intact and saying any change should come from the General Assembly to protect vested rights. In a separate matter, B Grady Byington’s barratry conviction for urging a Cedartown widow to sue the Central of Georgia was upheld after an April reversal. He faces 12 months in jail, $750 fine, probation, and another barratry charge in Savannah.
