JUSTICE LUND, concurring in part, and dissenting in part: I concur with the majority affirmation of the count II summary judgment, and the reversal of the trial court’s dismissal of counts III and IV. I would also reverse the trial court’s dismissal of count I. Section 2 of the Pawnbrokers Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 17, par. 4652) limits interest to 3% per month. The protection of the protected class is more important than the criminal ramifications. The complexities illustrated by the majority’s analysis of counts III and IV indicate the need for the private right.
