Dennis of Nashville and the Tennessee State Labor Council against Sears -Roebuck Co. The suit contends the 18 per cent conflicts with the constitutional limit of 10 per cent on interest. "You all have an interesting question.

We've skirted it number of times, Chief Justice Hamilton S. Burnett told opposing attorneys, The court heard oral arguments Wednesday before taking the case under advisement. George Barrett lawyer for Mrs. Dennis, asked the court to "look at. the spirt of the Constitution and what it was amied at- protecting the consumer.

One of the great struggles of the 19'70s is going to be the right to credit and the rights of consumers. The place to start is in this Barrett argued. Edwin F. Hunt attorney for Sears, contended the law allowing the 18 per cent service charge "is a regulation of the merchant and not a giving of interest," noting that no money is lent by the retailers. Chancellor Ned Lentz of Nashville earlier upheld the constitutionality of the law in dismissing Mrs.

Dennis' suit. The key issue in the suit 1s the definition of "interest." Although the legal limit on interest in Tennesseeis 6 per cent, banks are allowed to charge 10 per cent simple Interest and small lenders can legally charge 15 per cent.
