Rhodes v. City of Hartford
Supreme Court of Connecticut
Decided August 12, 1986No. 12831PublishedCited by 83 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtPeters, C. J.
The sole issue on this appeal is a determination of the scope of General Statutes §§ 21-44 and 21-45, which regulate the business practices of pawnbrokers. In the face of possible criminal prosecution, the plaintiff Robert D. Rhodes, a licensed pawnbroker,1 sought a declaratory judgment to determine whether General Statutes §§ 21-44 and 21-45 apply to financing arrangements known as repurchase transactions. After a hearing, the trial court ruled that repurchase transactions do fall within the ambit of the two statutes. The plaintiff appeals from this judgment.
