Q: If individual in GA does a contract to finance to individual in NC, which state laws are applied computing late fees?
GA individual financed camera to NC individual and stated his lawyer drew up contract (not stated anywhere on contract that it had been drawn up by a lawyer)
A: This isn't an easy "this or that" question. Typically, the contract itself says what jurisdiction's laws will govern. But if the contract doesn't say, then there's an analysis for assessing which jurisdiction's laws reasonably should govern. You might consider consulting with an attorney who can review the contract (and conduct an analysis if needed).
