Home Materials, Inc. v. Auto Owners Ins., 300 S.E.2d 139 (Ga. 1983). “OCGA § 7-4-6 (Code Ann. § 57-118). 2. We turn now to the question of the binding nature of McAllister’s representations.”
Griffin v. Georgia-Pac. Corp., 341 S.E.2d 499 (Ga. Ct. App. 1986). “Insofar as appellant asserts that, as a matter of law, interest at the rate of 1-V2 percent per month would be usurious, that rate of interest is specifically authorized by OCGA § 7-4-6 where, as here, a “commercial account” remains unpaid.”
Horton v. Middle Georgia Bank, 380 S.E.2d 749 (Ga. Ct. App. 1989). “§ 57-118 (OCGA § 7-4-6) was in effect. That section provided that with respect to a nonconsumer loan in excess of $3,000, there would be no interest rate limit.”
Tench v. U. S. Tsubaki, Inc., 381 S.E.2d 319 (Ga. Ct. App. 1989). “Thus, plaintiff here complied with the requirement to make a pre-trial invocation of the applicability of OCGA § 7-4-6. See Gold Kist Peanuts v. Alberson, 178 Ga.”

App. 1990). “Appellants’ argument regarding the usurious rate of interest charged a corporate debtor on a note executed in 1980 with the principal amount of the loan exceeding $3,000 is controlled adversely to them by former OCGA § 7-4-6 (in effect when the note was executed) and Finlay v.”
