Minster Farmers Cooperative Exchange Co. v. Dues

Ohio Supreme Court

Decided March 26, 2008No. Nos. 2006-1061 and 2006-1069PublishedCited by 52 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtPfeifer, J.

{¶ 1} The issue in these consolidated cases concerns the “written contract” requirement of R.C. 1343.03(A). R.C. 1343.03(A) states that the interest rate on a book account shall be the statutory rate set forth in R.C. 5703.47 “unless a written contract provides a different rate of interest.” Today we hold that notations on invoices and account statements setting forth an interest rate do not constitute a “written contract” for purposes of R.C. 1343.03(A).
