Summary
The appellants appealed against a judgment requiring them to repay loans under two written agreements, challenging the calculation of overpayment on the first loan and the enforceability of an interest clause in the second loan as a penalty. The Appellate Division allowed the appeal in part, correcting a calculation error and reducing interest by $2,000, but rejected the penalty argument finding the agreed interest clause was not extravagant or unconscionable given the parties' equal bargaining power.
