- Title
Glenn v. State.
- Authors
Woods, Scott A.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the case of Glenn vs. State concerning the prohibition of payday loans made by state residents in Georgia, while allowing out-of-state banks to make such loans, does not violate the in-state lender's equal protection rights. The plaintiffs Nathaniel Glenn and John Dunlop are in-state lenders convicted of violating the statute and challenged its constitutionality. However, the court rejected the lender's equal protection claims and held that the in-state lenders and out-of-state banks were not similarly situated. Thus, the regulation of in-state lenders achieves the legitimate purpose of deterring illegal, unconscionable payday lending in the state.
