Johnson v. Anderson

3 N.J.L. 983
Supreme Court of New Jersey·Decided November 15, 1812·Published

Opinion

By the Court.

There is no legal consideration on which the promise can attach. If this was law, usury and oppression would take a wide range. The creditor, in most cases, suffers an inconvenience in case of the [717] want of punctuality in his debtor; he cannot, however, recover more than the debt, interest and costs; nor will a promise to pay more, help his case.

Judgment reversed.
