Relevant factsFree
PRC's loan to NV One included a usury savings clause stating PRC's intent to comply with the state's 21% interest cap and providing that excess payments would be refunded or credited, but PRC nonetheless charged NV One interest exceeding that cap; the trial court found the loan usurious and void, rejecting PRC's reliance on the savings clause.
