There will be regret every
where except in loan shark"
circles that the Appellate Divis-
ion Of the Second Department has
found itself forced to reverse a
decision Of the First Department
and to hold that if a person signs
a grotesquely foolish, but not il
legal contract, he must abide by.
its consequences, though they be
disastrous to himself.
Of course, it is true, as Justice
Woodward writes, ut is not the
prvince Of the law to make itim-
possible for people to make fool
ish or improvident bargains, "but
it does seem thata bargain, though
legal, might be SO utterly fool
ish, SO grossly improvident, as to
Justify a court in assuming that
it was made under a misappre-
hension Of its terms and there
fore void or voidable.
This assumption would be es-
pecially reasonable in the case of
bargains made by needy, reckless
Or Ignorant borrowers who apply
for money to the lenders who
have so well earned the name of
sharks The application of that
name is, indeed, a SANDER on a
fish as deserving of respect as
any other, and guilty of no crime
except that of being big enough
to make voracity which he shares
with every other fish dangerous
to men. But sharks" these len:
ders have been called, and the
reputation which is cruely unjust
to the real sharks is not a bit too
bad for the usurers whose con-
tracts the court considered, sew
erely characterized and upheld.
The decision will discourage the
virtuous and rejoice the wicked.
Therefore there simply must be
something the matter with it,
sound as does logic on which it is
based seem tobe. = New York
